Living in Silicon Valley, I’ve spent decades surrounded by the promises—and pitfalls—of emerging technologies. But nothing has captivated, challenged, or consumed the conversation here quite like artificial intelligence. Whether I’m talking with startup founders over coffee on University Avenue, sitting in boardrooms, or chatting with neighbors at the local market, the same question keeps surfacing: Where exactly are we in this AI revolution? Are we still riding a wave of hype, or have we truly crossed into a new era of transformation? Like every breakthrough before—electricity, the internet, the smartphone—AI is following a familiar cycle. But this time, the cycle is moving at a speed we’ve never experienced before. So, where are we in the AI cycle?
We are at the inflection point—where the dream becomes discipline, and the hype gives way to history.
