AI ‘Roadkill’ Fears Haunt Investors and Traders

Quick Take 📸

Two years after ChatGPT launched, AI hasn’t shaken up businesses as much as expected, but investors are still nervous about its impact.

Some companies like Duolingo are thriving with AI, while others, like Chegg, are struggling to keep up.

What You Need to Know 🔍

  • Mixed Results: AI is boosting some companies like Duolingo (+50% this year) and GoDaddy (+93%), but it’s hurting others like Chegg (-90% since 2022).

  • Slower Than Expected: Big players like Microsoft are pouring money into AI, but it’s taking longer to see major results.

  • Future Still Uncertain: Companies that adapt quickly may win, while those slow to invest in AI could fall behind.

What can we learn from it?

AI is still changing the business world, but it’s a slow process with unclear winners and losers.

Staying flexible and betting on companies with strong AI strategies is key for navigating this shift.
