From autonomous AI agents infiltrating customer bank accounts to Anthropic’s jaw-dropping $100 billion IPO filing, enterprise technology is colliding head-on with an aggressive new reality.

This week on the Tech Field Day News Rundown, Alastair Cooke and guest Ed Weadon discuss major U.S. banks racing to neutralize unauthorized third-party agentic attacks, Anthropic’s historic Nasdaq paperwork alongside Claude’s controversial paywall bypass, and Bank of America’s projection that data center spending will surge past $2.1 trillion by 2028.

They also talk about NVIDIA and AMD funneling $4 billion directly into Meta’s AI infrastructure, Cato Networks rolling out endpoint defenses for unmanaged agents, and Nutanix teaming up with Supermicro and NVIDIA to streamline private, on-premises enterprise inference.

This and more on the Tech Field Day News Rundown, part of the Futurum Media Podcast Network.
