BlockBeats News, July 18th. By observing the usage trends of buzzwords in SEC filings of US-listed companies, one can infer changes in market narratives. When a certain set of keywords reaches its peak, the market value associated with them often experiences a decline.

Analysis suggests that corporate language swiftly adjusts to technological, cultural, and regulatory changes. Currently, an increasing number of companies are heavily employing 'AI'-related expressions in their financial reports and disclosure documents, viewing it as a new growth driver. However, there is currently a lack of substantial end-users capable of providing auditable, verifiable AI return on investment (ROI), despite continued growth in capital expenditures (CapEx) and operating expenses (OpEx).

Data indicates that the term 'AI' began steadily heating up since late 2022 and is now widely present in the filings of large enterprises. Meanwhile, 'Agentic' (Agentification) is showing a steeper growth curve, being seen as the latest buzzword for AI.

Analysts state that AI technology itself is indeed real and may be one of the most significant technological transformations of this century. However, the path from investment to actual value generation remains unclear. Currently, the market is still in its early stages, with a few companies reaping substantial benefits from AI infrastructure investments. In the future, there will be a need to realign value distribution to enable broader participation and benefits.
