Michelle Martin speaks with Arnaud Frade about the rise of “sentient startups” and whether billion-dollar one-person companies could soon emerge - even from Singapore.

They explore how entrepreneurs are already using AI beyond productivity.

Arnaud also shares lessons from building Athena, his autonomous AI panelist, and explains why blind dependence on AI could become a dangerous trap for founders.
