    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.

    Everything You Believe About Work is About to be Broken by AI | Alexander Manu Jul 06, 2026
    Show notes

    Stop fearing the future of work. Learn why our current infrastructure is failing and how to adapt your mindset for the age of artificial intelligence and technology.


    AI isn't taking your job; it's forcing humanity to rethink what work, identity, and purpose actually mean.


    In this conversation, Geoff Nielson sits down with innovation strategist, futurist, and author Alexander Manu to discuss why so many professionals fear a loss of income. The core issue, he argues, is not technology itself but our tendency to apply old systems to new realities. Instead of viewing artificial intelligence as a threat, Alexander explains that AI represents the next stage of human evolution, one where technology frees us from repetitive work and allows us to focus on creativity, learning, and what makes us uniquely human.


    The conversation also explores disruption, digital transformation, Maslow's concept of self-transcendence, the future of work, education, leadership, and what it truly means to live in an AI-first world.


    Whether you're a CIO, technology leader, business executive, innovator, or simply curious about where artificial intelligence is taking society, this episode offers one of the most optimistic, and challenging, perspectives you'll hear on the future of AI.

    The Most Insidious AI Narrative: We Can't Shape the Future Jun 15, 2026
    Show notes

    Artificial intelligence is reshaping work, creativity, business, and society faster than ever before, but how worried should we really be?


    In this episode, we sit down with The AI Doc producers Charlie Tyrell and Ted Tremper to discuss the biggest lessons they learned after spending years investigating AI and interviewing leading experts, including Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, Karen Hao, and many of the influential voices shaping the future of artificial intelligence.


    The conversation goes far beyond the typical AI debate, exploring AI ethics, generative AI, creative industries, wealth inequality, AI regulation, AGI, automation, AI governance, and the growing question of whether artificial intelligence is an inevitable force—or a technology that society can still shape. Charlie and Ted discuss the risks of concentrated power, the impact of AI on artists and filmmakers, ethical AI development, transparency, consent, and what individuals can do to influence the future of technology.


    AI is changing everything. The way we work, the way we create, the way we build businesses, and potentially the future of society itself. But beneath the headlines, hype, and fear, what’s actually true?

    Joscha Bach: AGI, Consciousness, and the Evolution of Intelligence Jun 08, 2026
    Show notes

    Artificial Intelligence is changing faster than most people realize, but are we asking the wrong questions about AI, AGI, consciousness, and the future of society?


    In this episode, cognitive scientist and AI researcher Joscha Bach joins us for a thought-provoking conversation on artificial intelligence, machine consciousness, large language models (LLMs), AGI, human intelligence, and the future of work.


    Joscha explains why intelligence is fundamentally about model-building, why consciousness may be a biological training algorithm, and what current AI systems are still missing.


    The conversation goes far beyond technology, tapping into innovation, capitalism, regulation, scientific progress, institutional trust, democracy, media narratives, AI safety, employment disruption, economic incentives, and the future of human civilization. Joscha shares his perspective on AI doom scenarios, why he believes many fears around artificial intelligence are overstated, and how AI could ultimately empower individuals rather than replace them.


    This episode offers a different look into artificial intelligence, human progress, and what comes next.

    AI vs The Invasion of Work: Could We Take Back Our Lives? Jun 01, 2026
    Show notes

    Modern work is broken.

    Endless meetings. Constant notifications. Work invading every corner of life.

    So, what does the future of work actually look like in the age of AI agents, generative AI, and organizational transformation?

    Microsoft’s Head of Future of Work & AI, Matthew Loys Duncan, says we’ve reached “human capacity” and that AI may not replace knowledge workers, but instead replace the worst parts of work itself.

    In this episode, Matthew joins Geoff Nielson to unpack how AI agents, generative AI, and organizational redesign are reshaping white-collar work. He explains why most companies are approaching AI the wrong way, why culture matters more than technology, and how the future of work will be “human-led, agent-operated.”

    From Microsoft’s Work Trend Index research and AI-native organizations to tacit knowledge, burnout, productivity, and leadership transformation, this conversation explores what happens when businesses stop optimizing old workflows and start redesigning work from the ground up.

    The AI Delusion: Why CEOs Still Don’t Get It May 25, 2026
    Show notes

    What if the biggest threat from AI isn’t artificial intelligence… but the economic system controlling it?


    Author and creator of the Lean Startup methodology, Eric Ries says many of the biggest fears around AI are actually fears about capitalism.


    In this episode, Eric joins us to talk about why great companies lose their value over time, how shareholder prioritization reshaped modern business, and why AI could either amplify human creativity or become the ultimate cost-cutting machine.


    He explains the hidden forces behind corporate corruption, the concept of “financial gravity,” and why companies like Costco continue to outperform despite rejecting many traditional Wall Street “best practices.” From private equity and governance structures to AI alignment and the future of human creativity, this conversation explores the incentives shaping business, technology, and society itself.
