The AI Boom
Investing, Innovation & Everyday Applications

Artificial Intelligence is often described as the most transformative technology of our time - but how much of that is real today, and what’s still years away? In our latest episode of Amplified Wealth, we bring you two in-depth conversations on AI’s future:

Tejas Dessai – GlobalX Director of Research

Tejas covers disruptive technologies and thematic investing. He shares his perspective on AI as an “economic turbocharger,” the infrastructure challenges (chips, power, and data centers), and why the U.S. still leads the global AI race.

Andrea Mondello – Withum’s Data & AI Services Leader

Andrea brings the conversation back to the business world, showing how companies are actually applying AI today. From voice analysis to AI-driven field reporting, she explains what works, what doesn’t, and how to avoid “AI FOMO.”

Together, these conversations give you both the investment lens and the practical business lens - a rare, full-spectrum look at where AI stands now.
