Squawk Pod

[SPEAKER_02] Bring in show music, please.

[SPEAKER_00] Hi, I'm CNBC producer Katie Kramer. Today on Squawk Pod. The future of artificial intelligence from a giant in the tech industry, Vinod Khosla, billionaire entrepreneur, Sun Microsystems co-founder, and a new NFL owner, on the big names writing the history of AI.

[SPEAKER_01] Open AI and Anthropic aren't the end of this AI story, they're the big name. And I suspect we'll see massive expansion of the number of trillion-dollar companies impacting fundamental areas of society.

[SPEAKER_00] It's what gamers have been waiting for, but the Grand Theft Auto juggernaut is just another part of Take-Two's $40 billion-plus content business. CEO Strauss Zelnick.

[SPEAKER_02] All things Grand Theft Auto, the Grand Theft Auto franchise has been less than 15% of our total revenue.

[SPEAKER_00] Plus, Meta's AI for All promises it paramount, and President Trump reignites his push to fire a Fed governor over mortgage paperwork.

[SPEAKER_03] You don't want to defend somebody who has done something that is demonstrably wrong.

[SPEAKER_00] You can defend the due process, right?

[SPEAKER_03] But you should defend the due process. And then the question is, is this a form of due process?

[SPEAKER_00] It's Monday, August 10th, 2026. Squawk Pod begins right now.

[SPEAKER_03] Stand, Andrew, bye. In three, two, one, cue, Andrew. Good morning. Welcome to Squawk Box right here on CNBC on this Monday morning.
