Download AI's Bubble Trouble?: 1. Is the AI bubble about to burst?

Aleks and Kevin explore the biggest story in the Ai business. Markets are growing sceptical that the eye-watering sums being invested in Ai will show a return and comparisons with the dot-com crash are being widely made - so is the Ai bubble about to burst?

Over the next three episodes we'll explore the Ai business landscape, look at the evidence for a bubble and consider the consequences of a 'major correction' to the valuation of the big players.

Presenters: Aleks Krotoski and Kevin Fong
Producer: Peter McManus
