Are We in an AI Bubble? Lessons from the Dot-Com Crash

Is Artificial Intelligence the next great revolution, or the next big bubble?

In this episode, I break down the striking parallels between today’s AI boom and the dot-com bubble of the late 90s, when trillions were invested in internet startups that never turned a profit. Just like back then, we’re seeing money pour into companies with big ideas, lofty promises, and no clear business models.

I’m not anti-AI, I believe it will reshape our world. But we have to separate hype from history and understand what truly drives lasting innovation and value.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

- How the current AI craze mirrors the dot-com era—and what’s different this time

- Why most AI startups won’t survive the next few years

- What makes a company or investor resilient when the hype fades
