Are the cracks in the AI bubble starting to show?
I just moderated a panel at Infoshare l 2026 on the biggest problems in tech. Agree to Disagree format - provocative statements with kind, and genuine discourse.
What struck me most:
Several people in a room full of tech leaders were openly cautious about AI.
Not critics from the outside. Insiders, like Chief AI Officers!
And they had personal stories about the impact on their own cognitive ability - language, basic maths, memory, emotional management.
Other things that came up:
VC money - Danek and Irina Rudenko reminded us it's not evil. It funds arts, progress, human advancement. But we must scrutinize what it's actually used for. Andre's billionaire clients have children who suffer as much as some of the poorest children... just with a G5 instead of a G6.
Social media and youth - the post-panel conversation went there fast. If adults can't fend off scams and misinformation, how do we expect children, the most emotionally vulnerable among us, to navigate hardware and software designed for addiction?
AI and the "work hard and succeed" mantra - Barbara Forbes and Sondra Bagātā debating the moral, workforce and economic implications of one-man unicorns. We barely scratched the surface. This should have been a roundtable.
Irina's analogy stayed with me: would you go back to black and white TV? Of course not. AI is here. The box is open.
The best thing about this panel was the intentional space held by both the audience and panelists, empathy and curiosity setting the playing field.
We need more rooms like this, right away.
We can't let lobbyists dictate the left vs right polarisation around these topics. We must have dialogue in the nuance.
Thank you again for your trust Grzegorz Borowski , Patrycja Zacharzewska for letting me trial this new format at Infoshare.
And to our wonderful panelists for showing up as themselves, authentically and professionally so we could all increase our perspectives.
