Sen. Tina Smith’s office released statements cautioning that the President and Republicans are betting heavily on artificial intelligence, yet the technology has not yet proven it can deliver realistic returns, raising concerns about a possible financial bubble [1]. She urged that Americans should not be forced to pay for the fallout of risky bets with taxpayer‑funded bailouts [2]. Smith also noted that AI companies have not yet demonstrated the profits needed to support such a speculative market [3]. The statements were issued as part of a press release from the senator’s office [1]
