According to a tech specialist at Alliance Bernstein, Mark Schilsky, while AI is gaining popularity and making waves as it infiltrates everyday life, it’s still not at the peak reached by Bitcoin searches in 2017. Schilsky noted that the interest in AI is at an all-time high based on data from Google Trends which tracks how much people are searching for particular terms. However, Schilsky noted that it’s still far below the absolute hype of ‘Bitcoin.’ While AI is trending upward and has become an integral part of our lives, it’s still not yet as popular as Bitcoin was in 2017. Nonetheless, the hype around AI is expected to keep growing and eventually surpass that of Bitcoin.
