AI Hype Vs Reality: Ex-French Minister & VC Fleur Pellerin On What Comes Next

At the World Governments Summit in Dubai, Business Today Group Editor Siddharth Zarabi speaks with Fleur Pellerin—former French Minister of Culture and Founder & CEO of Korelya Capital—on the biggest questions shaping global investing today. Is Generative AI a bubble driven by sky-high valuations, or are we still scratching the surface of its real-world impact? From healthcare and banking to voice AI and productivity gains, Pellerin breaks down where AI is delivering value—and where hype may be running ahead of reality. She also shares why investors must adopt a twin-track strategy: backing cutting-edge AI while simultaneously investing in sectors that are largely immune to disruption, such as consumer lifestyle brands, tourism, and experience-driven businesses. From India’s AI potential to voice-based innovation and post-COVID market shifts, this candid conversation offers rare insight from someone who has shaped policy—and now shapes capital.
