Every major tech shift follows the same pattern: one side says it’ll change the world overnight, the other says it’ll destroy everything. AI is no different—and both sides are usually wrong.

In this episode of the AI Agents Podcast, Rade Kovacevic (CEO of Polar Grid) breaks down what actually happens during massive market cycles, why AI progress feels chaotic, and where real value is being built right now.

We dive into the future of real-time AI, why latency is the hidden bottleneck, and how technologies like voice agents, edge computing, and AI infrastructure will shape the next wave of products.

If you want a grounded, no-hype perspective on AI’s future—this episode is for you.
