Are we in an AI boom—or building the next tech bubble? This episode of TechEDGE explores both sides of the debate, examining whether today’s massive AI investments mirror the dot-com era or represent a fundamentally different, infrastructure-driven moment.
We also take a closer look at why human behavior remains the weakest link in cybersecurity. Using real-world breaches as context, this segment explains why tools alone aren’t enough—and how leaders must design security around how people actually work.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
The strongest arguments for and against an AI bubble.
How today’s AI investment differs from past tech bubbles.
Why people—not technology—are the real attack surface.
How shadow AI and cognitive bias increase cyber risk.
What human-centric security really looks like.
