Is the trillion-dollar AI boom built to last—or are cracks already forming?
From Big Tech spending to regulation, the future of AI is suddenly up for debate.
In this episode, we break down:
- Whether today’s AI boom has the warning signs of a speculative bubble
- Why Big Tech is pouring enormous amounts of capital into AI infrastructure
- Whether current AI is truly “intelligent” or simply a more powerful data and search engine
- How global semiconductor supply chains could determine the future of AI
- Why deglobalization and geopolitical tensions could slow technological progress
- The growing backlash against AI data centres and massive infrastructure projects
- Whether AI will destroy jobs, create new ones, or force workers to retrain
- Where Canada fits into the global AI race—and whether it can build a real competitive advantage
- Why surveillance, robotics, quantum computing and AGI remain central to the long-term debate
- Hosts: Mike Wixson, Paul Micucci
- Guests: Ron Caughlin
