The AI Bubble

Paul Kedrosky

Investor · Researcher · MIT Fellow

About this episode

I sat down with Paul Kedrosky - investor, researcher and one of the smartest voices out there on the economics of AI and the risks of a bubble.

Here are a few of the questions we talked about:

  • What is a bubble?

  • Is AI a bubble?

  • How does it compare to past bubbles?

  • What would cause the bubble to burst?

  • Why should the average person care?

  • Will we see a bull market in laser tag in all the abandoned data centres?

  • What needs to be true for AI to NOT be a bubble?
