Description:

Think AI is just about adding chatbots to your business?

Think again.

In 2024, AI has completely transformed who can build tech companies and how they're funded - but there's also dangerous hype that's already landing companies in legal trouble.

We're in what economists call 'The Middle Times of AI' - a messy period where massive opportunity meets massive hype.

Some founders are building million-dollar businesses with lean teams, while others are getting fined by the SEC for false AI claims.

Listen to this episode to learn:

  • Why prototypes that once cost $32,000 can now be built for free
  • How the SEC is cracking down on fake AI companies
  • Why technical co-founders are no longer essential for tech startups
  • How to spot real AI opportunities in the middle of the hype
  • Why new tech hubs are emerging far from Silicon Valley

Whether you're a founder saving thousands on development, a corporate innovator testing ideas without permission, or an investor avoiding AI washing, this episode will help you navigate the reality of AI in 2024.
