This is THE AI debate you've been waiting for.

Will AI become as transformational as the internet, or will history remember it more like blockchain and the metaverse?

In this episode of Digital Disruption, Info-Tech's Geoff Nielson and Jeremy Roberts go head-to-head over one of the biggest technology questions of our time: Is AI overhyped?

The debate looks at whether generative AI is delivering measurable business value or whether the excitement surrounding OpenAI, Microsoft Copilot, Google, Nvidia, and today's AI investments has outpaced reality. From enterprise productivity and healthcare innovation to AI adoption, venture capital, cloud computing, autonomous vehicles, and the future of work, both sides present compelling evidence at the Info-Tech LIVE Conference in Las Vegas.

You'll hear why the profitability of today's AI industry is being questioned, how massive capital investments are shaping the race among AI leaders, and what these financial realities could mean for the future of artificial intelligence. Whether you're an IT leader, business executive, or AI enthusiast, this debate offers practical insights into where AI is delivering real value, and where expectations may be running ahead of reality.
