The Three Waves of AI: Where We Are and What Comes Next with Peter Voss

🌊 Growth Capital Podcast - Episode 49 🌊

Artificial Intelligence has evolved through three distinct eras—from logic-based systems to today’s data-hungry LLMs. But are we truly getting smarter, or just scaling bigger?

In this episode of the Growth Capital Podcast, host Justin Dixon sits down with Peter Voss, Founder, CEO, and Chief Scientist at Aigo.ai, to explore the next frontier: Cognitive AI—machines that can think, learn, and reason like humans.

Peter breaks down the three waves of AI as defined by DARPA, why current large language models (like ChatGPT) have reached their limits, and how the next phase of AI will be defined by adaptability, learning, and reasoning—not brute force.

🔍 What you’ll learn:

• The evolution from symbolic logic to statistical AI to cognitive AI
• Why bigger models no longer mean smarter systems
• How cognitive AI could reshape business, work, and society
• The moral and human implications of truly “thinking” machines
• Why fear of AI is overblown—and how intelligence can actually improve morality
