What happens when "unlimited" AI usage runs out of cash in six weeks, or a single cloud outage takes down everything from food delivery to digital payments?

On this episode of the Tech Field Day News Rundown, Tom Hollingsworth and Alastair Cooke break down the latest disruption in AWS's US West 2 region and what it reveals about multi-cloud resilience strategies.

They examine Microsoft’s new agentic AI vulnerability scanner, M-Dash, alongside NVIDIA’s massive $500 billion financing guarantee for OpenAI’s planned data center complex in Ohio. They also explore the FCC's proposal for satellite-connected 2.4 GHz IoT devices, Atos launching a European sovereign cloud platform, and NVIDIA's new Open Secure AI Alliance.

Finally, they dive into the US Army burning through its entire annual AI token budget in a matter of weeks, highlighting why organizations must establish strict governance over enterprise AI consumption.

This and more on the Tech Field Day News Rundown with Tom Hollingsworth and Alastair Cooke.
