In this episode of Your AI Injection, host Deep Dhillon sits down with Dr. Ashwin Mehta, founder and CEO of Mehtadology. Ashwin draws a sharp line between real problem-solution fit and mandate-driven adoption, buying a new tool just because leadership feels pressure to do something with AI. Big companies often default to platforms like Microsoft Copilot not because they're safer, but because they're easier to greenlight. -[LISTEN] [SUBSCRIBE: YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts]
In this episode of Your AI Injection, host Deep Dhillon sits down with Bruce Yang, founder and CEO of AgnesAI, to challenge one of the biggest assumptions in tech right now: that winning the AI race requires near-unlimited resources. Bruce argues that the real opportunity isn't in the markets everyone is fighting over, but in the billions of people being priced out of AI entirely. AgnesAI has earned a spot among the world's top 10 AI labs by delivering top-tier performance at a fraction of the cost of today's leading models. -[LISTEN] [SUBSCRIBE: YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts]
