Artificial intelligence remains the world's hottest investment thematic, with Goldman Sachs predicting that AI investment could amount to around US$200 billion globally by 2025 as businesses move to implement new technologies and reshape their processes. 

Meanwhile, searches for "generative artificial intelligence" on Google have exploded in recent years - with consumers and investors alike trying to learn as much as possible about this exciting and potentially world-transforming technology. 

So, where are we in the AI cycle, which businesses will continue to benefit, and how do you spot the imposters before it's too late? 

To answer those questions and more, I was joined by Munro Partners' Nick Griffin, Tribeca Investment Partners' Jun Bei Liu and Antipodes' Jacob Mitchell on the stage of Livewire Live 2024.
