According to @timnitGebru, a recent NBER paper highlights that while AI’s capabilities are substantial, their potential has been significantly overstated in both media narratives and market expectations (source: NBER, 2025). The paper analyzes real-world AI deployments and finds a gap between current practical applications and the expectations set by public discourse. For AI industry professionals and business leaders, this signals the need for a realistic evaluation of AI’s immediate business impact, focusing on verified use cases and measured investment strategies. By aligning expectations with documented AI capabilities, companies can better identify sustainable AI opportunities and avoid hype-driven pitfalls (source: @timnitGebru, Twitter, 2025).
