For grant proposals in academia, it's the same. The few I've seen all seem to mention AI, even if only tangentially related to the actual project from the proposal.
Another one is quantum computing. Last time it was metaverse BS too in SK.

Well, seems like companies are eager to snatch a piece of that pie. With OpenAI launching Sora and Bard rebranding itself to Gemini, it seems that competition among Gen-AI companies are heating up. More chip fabrication plants, more data centres, more software developers, more power production centers needed

Now that ESG is dying they need something to bring in all that dumb institutional money.

interesting how AI still has a lot of mindshare at large companies.
a year ago, i would have expected this chart to look like a giant spike in Q1 (after the ChatGPT hype began) followed by a steep drop off in future quarters.

AI is real, for nearly any definition of AI; which means you should expect to keep seeing it. If you stop seeing it it won't be because the hype is over, but because it seems too obvious to talk about, like nobody talks about an 'electricity' or a 'computer' strategy anymore.

I agree, this one has a bit more legs than enterprise blockchain, before that it was big data, and companies like under armour who had no business in data collection got in and F'd themselves.
This one will carry on a bit longer but does not make it not a fad for most of these companies
