Is the golden age of software over? Andrew Curtayne, tech sector specialist at Milford Asset Management, puts the industry under the microscope. While hardware giants like Nvidia are still projecting heady numbers, software providers like Salesforce are under threat from AI tools that enable anyone to write code.

With the central AI chip manufacturer sold out until 2028, what does that mean for the supply chain? Why do the biggest tech companies need to tap debt markets to fund a trillion-dollar construction spree? We discuss the "doomsday" scenario for white-collar jobs being automated, and why the market is currently favouring unglamorous sectors like consumer staples. 

Plus, the coming energy battle over data centers, $50 billion facilities that can consume as much power as a small city.
