Futurum Media brings Techstrong, Tech Field Day and Visible Impact into a shared media organization. The panel discusses what that means for technology audiences, then examines AI's effects on occupations, software development and enterprise spending, including cybersecurity priorities.

DeepSeek and Huawei's AI chip software efforts raise questions about NVIDIA's ecosystem advantage. The discussion also considers model-security concerns and keeps allegations of distillation distinct from claims about stolen model weights.

Hosts: Alan Shimel and Mike Vizard. Guests: Jon Swartz, Drew Gutstein, Jaime Hampton, Dan O'Brien, Lee Sellers and Stephen Foskett.
