Montaka's Spotlight Series

AI agents are being framed as an existential threat to enterprise software, with some investors assuming that software platforms, seat-based models, and switching costs could be eroded almost overnight.In this episode of Montaka’s Spotlight Series, Jessica speaks with Andrew Macken, Chief Investment Officer at Montaka Global Investments, about the central argument from Montaka’s latest whitepaper: Where Advantages Lie in the Age of AI. They unpack why the AI “doomsday” scenario may be overstated, including the security risks of AI models, the power and compute bottlenecks limiting widespread agent deployment, and the practical difficulty of deploying AI agents safely inside large enterprises.The discussion then turns to where competitive advantages may actually strengthen in an AI world, including scarce compute and electric power, proprietary data flywheels, enterprise distribution, R&D scale, and irreplaceable digital assets. Andrew also explains why some advantaged businesses may have been unfairly sold off as markets price in disruption too broadly.#ArtificialIntelligence #AIInfrastructure #EnterpriseSoftware #CompetitiveAdvantage #InvestmentInsights #GlobalEquities #LongTermInvesting #MontakaGlobalDisclaimer: Issued by Montaka Global Pty Ltd ABN 62 604 878 533, AFSL 516942.
