About this listen

 Bill Bernardoni continues his conversation with cybersecurity expert John Bambenek of Bambenek Consulting, examining the sharp drop in AI and tech stocks, the gap between AI hype and real-world impact, and why productivity gains haven’t translated into a true technological revolution. The discussion then shifts to cryptocurrency — from government interest in digital currencies to the surge in AI-enabled crypto scams. Bambenek explains why crypto fraud is so profitable, why stolen funds are nearly impossible to recover, and how automation at scale is fueling modern cybercrime. The segment closes with a warning about over-empowered AI agents and the security risks of giving automation too much control over personal data, finances, and daily life.

Has AI overpromised and underdelivered — or are we still too early to judge its real impact?
