The Tech Download

AI is making it easier for people to turn an idea into an app, website or even a business — without needing the same level of technical expertise as before.
Lovable CEO Anton Osika joins CNBC’s Arjun Kharpal to explain how AI-powered software development is changing entrepreneurship, product development and the role of developers. He discusses how Lovable has evolved from a platform for building apps and websites with plain-English prompts into a broader tool for helping entrepreneurs build, run and grow their businesses.
They also discuss AI agents, the future of work, competition from the biggest AI labs, regulation and whether Europe can produce the next generation of global AI companies.

AI is changing advertising — from how brands understand audiences and create campaigns to how they reach customers online.
WPP Chief AI Officer Daniel Hulme joins CNBC’s Arjun Kharpal to explain why the next shift could come as AI agents start making recommendations and purchases on people’s behalf. If AI becomes the intermediary between a brand and a consumer, who is the real customer — the person or their personal AI?
Hulme also discusses AI-generated creative work, synthetic audiences, the future of advertising in chatbots and why he believes the industry should focus less on “AI ethics” and more on testing, safety and responsibility.

Nokia CEO Justin Hotard joins CNBC’s Arjun Kharpal to explain why the company sees itself at the centre of the AI infrastructure buildout: providing the optical and IP networking technology linking AI data centres, as well as the mobile-network equipment that could support the next generation of robotics, autonomous vehicles and other physical AI.
Hotard argues demand for AI infrastructure remains in its early stages, with customers constrained by power, silicon and supply rather than a lack of appetite to build. He also lays out his view of 6G: less a conventional upgrade in mobile speeds, and more a shift toward intelligent networks that can sense, plan and act.
The conversation also covers Europe’s AI challenge, the debate over data-centre expansion and Nokia’s ambitions in space communications and orbital data centres.

Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora joins Arjun Kharpal to discuss how AI is reshaping cybersecurity.
They explore the risks posed by autonomous AI agents, increasingly convincing scams and AI-powered attacks, as well as the debate over slowing advanced AI development.
Arora also explains why quantum computers could threaten today’s encryption — and why hackers may already be collecting data to decrypt later.

Cohere co-founder and CEO Aidan Gomez speaks to Arjun Kharpal about the growing battle over who controls the world’s AI.
Gomez explains why companies and governments are increasingly worried about where their data goes, who controls the infrastructure behind AI systems and whether access could one day be cut off.
He also discusses China’s rapid progress in AI, the soaring cost of frontier models and why the technology is creating new cybersecurity risks as it becomes more autonomous.
