Here's Why the Global AI Bubble is Collapsing

Описание: When 90 Minutes set up an interview with Rex Hampton, we expected a serious conversation about Cerebrum AI Systems Inc., the AI market, and the growing concerns around both. Instead, we got an hour of a man inheriting a company from his parents, Charles and Cheryl Hampton, and then seeming genuinely surprised to learn he might be expected to understand it.

Hampton, the sole heir to the company’s founding members, arrived with the kind of confidence and irritation usually reserved for people who know what's going on and do everything themselves. Simple questions were misunderstood. Basic follow-ups had to be repeated. Entire sections somehow wandered into his hobbies while the actual subject of the interview sat in the corner, unattended. At several points, it felt less like speaking with the owner of a major AI company and more like watching someone get lost on the way to his own point.

This is the salvageable footage from that attempt. It is a level of confusion that would be funny if the stakes global markets and our livelihoods. With so much money and faith tied up in companies like Cerebrum AI Systems Inc., watching its heir fumble his way through the most basic conversation imaginable is alarming.
