Kevin Kelly, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Kelly Intelligence, argues AI has stopped being a sector and turned into an attribute of almost everything, right down to the company building municipal fire trucks. Melissa Otto, CFA, Head of TMT Research at Visible Alpha, part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, brings the estimate data behind it and puts a number on what data centers will pull from the power grid. Then the host and the analyst disagree, on air, about whether cash is safe.
