Artificial Intelligence(AI) – Has it lived up to its hype? | Future Forward Ep. 33 | Techcanvass
In this episode of Future Forward, we take a deep, no-hype look at one of the biggest questions shaping the AI era today: Is AI truly delivering value—or are we heading into an AI investment bubble?
With billions of dollars being poured into AI infrastructure by companies like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Meta, and NVIDIA, the expectations are sky-high. Yet many organizations still struggle to see clear ROI, scalable impact, or real transformation beyond pilots and productivity hacks. This episode cuts through the noise to explore what’s really happening beneath the surface.
Hosted by Abhishek Srivastava, Founder & CEO, Techcanvass, this conversation features Chinmay Gavankar, an AI & Data Science Expert with over 24 years of industry experience, who has worked with global organizations including Microsoft, Google, IBM, SAP, and TCS.
Rather than theoretical buzzwords, Chinmay shares grounded insights from real enterprise environments—explaining why AI adoption is high, transformation is low, and what must change for AI to truly reshape businesses, careers, and society.
