AI Hype: A Psychological, Economic, and Technological Analysis

By Rae Yule Kim

Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant concept. It is restructuring economies, redefining work, and reshaping global power in real time. Yet most conversations about AI swing between hype and fear, missing the deeper economic transformation underway. This book cuts through the noise. Grounded in economic history, market dynamics, and geopolitical strategy, it explains how AI is not simply another tech trend, but a structural shift comparable to electrification or the industrial revolution. Readers will understand where real value is being created, how infrastructure and capital are repositioning, and what this means for workers, institutions, and investors. Whether you seek clarity in navigating change or insight as an investor positioning for the next economic wave, this book offers a rigorous, strategic framework for understanding AI, not as speculation, but as the defining economic force of our time.
