The AI Bubble Debate: What’s Really Going On

In this episode of I’ve Got Questions, I break down whether AI is in a bubble. Headlines insist AI is wildly overhyped and about to pop, while others claim there’s no bubble at all.

What these headlines are missing though, is that the financial cycle and the technological cycle are not the same thing.

A bubble may burst, AND the technology we have right now is already disruptive enough to change society, and we need to be prepared for both.
