Are we in the AI Bubble? β€” VC Perspective on AI Trends

πŸ‘‰πŸŒWe had an incredible conversation with VC Pankaj Kedia, founder and managing partner of 2468 Ventures, and his insights were mind-blowing.

Two years ago, he predicted AI would surpass the internet, smartphone, and cloud revolutions combined.
Today? He says we underestimated it.

Here are the highlights:

πŸ”Ή $6–7 trillion in global AI data-center investment this decade
πŸ”Ή AI is transforming every industry β€” from healthcare to mining
πŸ”Ή Agentic AI + physical AI (robots/humanoids) are moving faster than anyone expected
πŸ”Ή This is a global wave, not just a Silicon Valley phenomenon
πŸ”Ή β€œWe are not in an AI bubble. Demand is real β€” and we can’t deploy fast enough.”

Top opportunities he’s excited about:
⚑ New cooling & energy solutions for data centers
πŸ€– Robotics + humanoids going mainstream
πŸ“± A brand-new AI-native wearable device designed for agentic AI
🏭 Applied AI disrupting long-stagnant sectors like construction, manufacturing & healthcare

His predictions for 2026:
✨ The Year of Applications β€” applied AI goes mainstream
πŸš— Autonomous vehicles scale into the hundreds of thousands
🏒 First fully autonomous, agent-run zero-human company
🎬 First feature-length film created entirely by AI
⌚ Breakthrough AI wearable hits the market

Pankaj summed it up perfectly:
β€œWe are barely getting started. This is a once-in-a-century transformation.”

The next decade belongs to builders. Let’s go. πŸ’₯
