Then the gang turns its attention to the impact AI will have the cost of compliance before taking a look at some of the latest cybersecurity technologies developed by Microsoft

Alan, Mike, Tracy Ragan, Camberley Bates and Jack Poller dive into a report that finds artificial intelligence (AI) has had no discernible impact on employment levels before discussing why so many platform engineering teams have embraced AI.

Then the gang takes a look at the inherent cybersecurity risks that will arise as robots become more widely used at work and in the home.

Mike, Jon, Fred Wilmot and Anne Ahola Ward dive into the cybersecurity implications of a decision to, for now at least, not fund the Cybersecurity Infrastructure and Security Agency (CISA).

Then the gang takes a look at the need for more comprehensive approaches to artificial intelligence (AI) training before delving into what degree AI will transform filmmaking now that there are AI actors.

Alan, Mike, Jon, Teri Robinson and Garima Bajpai dive into the latest advances from DeepSeek that promise to make it less costly to deploy artificial intelligence (AI) before taking a harder look at how AI is exacerbating existing DevOps bottleneck issues.

Then the gang discusses to what degree are cybersecurity teams still preparing to fight yesterday's war in the age of AI.

Alan, Mike, Mitch and Stephen Foskett, president of the Tech Field Day arm of the Futurum Group, discuss the viability of artificial general intelligence (AGI) and superintelligence initiatives before diving into how AI is being used to build software.

Then the gang takes a look at the state of cybersecurity following a Field Day event that can be found on Techstrong.tv.

Alan, Mike. Mitch. Camberley Bates and Andi Mann dive into the future of IT operations following the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) agents before debating which platforms have the best chance to dominate the agentic AI future.

Then the gang takes a look at an alliance between Docker, Inc. and the Cloud Natice Computing Foundation (CNCF) that promises to resolve some long-standing animosities.

Guest host Jon Swartz is joined by Stephen Foskett, Gina Rosenthal, and Ira Winkler to examine the urgent need for global frameworks in AI diplomacy and governance. Concerns grow around superficial leadership in AI regulation, while advocacy contradictions raise questions about accountability.

Mike, Chris Blask and Jeff Reich dive into the implications of a $100 billion investment commitment that NVIDIA is making to OpenAI.

Then the gang looks at the rise of cyberattacks involving artificial intelligence (AI) technologies before delving into the reasons why systems remain vulnerable to ransomware attacks following a massive disruption involving flights across Europe.

Alan, Jon , Chris , Jack and Teri Robinson discuss AI is reshaping HR and workplace dynamics. From automation and integration to trust and data privacy, the role of AI agents is rapidly evolving. We break down key announcements from Workday’s user conference, explore the impact on job security, and discuss why a people-centric approach remains critical for successful AI adoption.

Alan, Mitch, Stephen, Chhaya and JP dig into evolving AI safety concerns, California’s push for tech regulation, and fears that new laws could stifle innovation while favoring large companies. They also weigh the importance of data centers for startup ecosystems, with zoning laws shaping development. Despite challenges, there’s optimism about building in key regions.

AI is reshaping the workplace, pressuring clerical and paralegal jobs while exposing skill gaps and governance failures. Success demands trust, expertise and safety, with domain-specific models and sound principles guiding AI in software development.

Alan, Mike, Jon, Tom Hollingsworth, Robert Reeves and Garima Bajpai discuss the degree to which there is now a leadership crisis when it comes to driving innovation.

Then the gang takes a look at a JFrog initiative to modernize DevOps for the age of agentic artificial intelligence (AI) before assessing a Cisco effort that leverages AI agents to unify the management of IT
