AI Paradox and the Future: an Economic Perspective

Intersect Innovation Hub • Wednesday, April 29 • 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM

Technopark

Speaker: Dr. Huthaifa I. Ashqar – Director of Enbat, Assistant Professor at Arab American University, former adjunct faculty of AI at Columbia University

This lecture examines the paradox of AI as a massively hyped yet technically limited technology, often difficult to deploy in real-world workflows. Dr. Ashqar unpacks why many AI systems fail to translate into practical, scalable tools, and how this gap may be feeding an AI-driven economic bubble.

Participants leave with a critical understanding of where AI truly stands today, with implications for investment, policy, and strategic planning.
