Understanding AI's market cycle and its potential parallels with historical technological advancements will help guide its implementation in investment strategies and emerging markets. Host Puru Saxena (veteran money manager and founder of money management firms in Hong Kong) introduces his panel of expert financial analysts (ex-Citibank, Societe Generale, Peel Hunt, Berenberg, Motley Fool) to discuss recent developments in AI, technology, and business trends. The team unpacks the $300 billion partnership between OpenAI and Oracle, and what it means for the future of AI infrastructure.
