On theCUBE Pod: Google And Meta Under Fire, Startups Surge, Saleforce's Marc Benioff To Talk AI Strategy With Thecube
SiliconANGLE, Friday, April 18th, 2025
It's not just hype anymore - artificial intelligence is officially rewriting the rules of the tech economy. From regulatory battles rocking Big Tech to the explosive rise of AI-native challengers, AI disruption is forcing a high-stakes reset across infrastructure, innovation and influence.
The traditional playbook is breaking down as agentic AI, shifting data strategies and geopolitical pressures collide, creating a rare moment of both instability and opportunity. The pace of transformation is only accelerating. Giants such as Google LLC and Meta Platforms Inc. are under legal fire while startups such as OpenAI Inc., Perplexity AI Inc. and Anthropic PBC are racing ahead.
In this landscape, success won't hinge on legacy dominance - it will come down to who owns the data, who scales infrastructure fastest and who can deliver AI that earns real-world trust, according to industry analysts John Furrier (pictured, left) and Dave Vellante (right) during the latest theCUBE Podcast episode.
