This week on Software Sundays, KD explores why countries are racing to take back control of their digital infrastructure and what that means for engineers, founders, and the future of technology. We begin with the European Union's latest tech sovereignty initiative and why governments are investing billions into homegrown chips, cloud providers, AI companies, and data centers instead of relyi...

This week on Software Sundays, KD breaks down how the AI infrastructure race is entering a new phase. Meta is exploring ways to monetize its massive AI infrastructure by selling excess compute, following a strategy similar to the major cloud providers. We discuss why compute, memory, energy, and data centers have become some of the most valuable assets in technology and what this means for startup...

This week on Software Sundays, KD explores the global race to build AI infrastructure and why sovereign AI is becoming one of the biggest technology trends of the decade. We begin with NVIDIA’s partnership to help build AI data centers in Indonesia and what it says about the growing demand for sovereign AI, digital infrastructure, and national technology independence. KD explains why today’s AI bo...

This week on Software Sundays, KD breaks down three major stories shaping the future of technology, cybersecurity, and business. We start with growing antitrust pressure on cloud providers like Microsoft, Amazon, and other infrastructure giants, and what it means when cloud computing begins to look more like a utility than a traditional technology service. Next, we examine the cybersecurity implic...

This week on Software Sundays, KD explores three major shifts shaping the future of technology, society, and power. We begin with Anthropic’s call for AI non-proliferation and what increased regulation could mean for innovation, competition, and the future of open-source AI. Then we examine the growing push for sovereign AI as governments invest in domestic chips, data centers, energy infrastructu...

This week on Software Sundays, KD breaks down one of the biggest questions in technology today: will AI actually replace skilled professionals, or are we dramatically underestimating the value of human accountability, trust, and judgment? We start with new claims that millions of workers are at risk from AI-driven automation and why software engineers, accountants, and legal professionals may be f...

This week on Software Sundays, KD explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping society, economies, and opportunity around the world. We begin with the Vatican’s growing concerns about AI and the impact advanced technology may have on human dignity, work, and decision-making. As governments, institutions, and global leaders pay closer attention to AI, the conversation is moving beyond innovati...

This week on Software Sundays, KD breaks down the growing anxiety around artificial intelligence and what it means for workers, engineers, students, and creators trying to navigate the future of work. We start with the viral commencement speech where graduates booed discussions about AI, and unpack why so many young people feel uncertain about job opportunities in an AI-driven economy. KD explains...

This week on Software Sundays, KD breaks down the growing power dynamics shaping the future of artificial intelligence, infrastructure, and the technology workforce.  We start with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella’s testimony about Microsoft’s relationship with OpenAI and what it reveals about cloud infrastructure, AI dependence, governance, and the massive ecosystem required to train frontier AI model...

This week on Software Sundays, KD breaks down the next phase of the AI race — and why the conversation is shifting from just software to infrastructure, governance, and system-level engineering.
