Is the current AI boom a massive bubble waiting to burst? It’s the most intense conversation happening in global strategy right now, with everyone asking if the extraordinary valuations and incredibly rapid infrastructure buildout signal that a massive market correction is coming.

But what if we’re asking the wrong question entirely?

In this episode, we move past the general anxiety to offer a clear, evidence-based path forward. Drawing on deep analysis, we explore a compelling argument: there isn't one single AI bubble, but three distinct, powerful bubbles operating simultaneously.

We break down:

1. The Asset Bubble: A purely speculative financial event where company valuations have soared beyond rational measure, drawing comparisons to the 17th-century Dutch tulip mania.

2. The Infrastructure Bubble: The massive, tangible investment in physical assets like GPUs and data centers, echoing the historic overbuilding of railroads and fiber-optic cables.

3. The Hype Bubble: The disconnect between AI’s promised capabilities and its current reality, which helps explain the shocking MIT finding that 95% of corporate AI pilots fail to generate any financial returns.

Understanding the differences between these three zones is key to achieving strategic success. This episode provides an actionable playbook for navigating the hype, helping you know which bubbles you can safely ignore and which one demands a systematic, problem-first response.

If you’re ready to move past the noise of financial speculation and build a pragmatic AI strategy with confidence, stay tuned. Let's differentiate these three bubbles and uncover the path to creating real, lasting value.
