Billionaire Jeff Bezos, who built one of the world’s most valuable companies, sees a shift underway that could favor smaller players over the biggest institutions. At the America Business Forum, Bezos says AI is a spark for a surge in invention that could transform industries and reorder competitive power. According to the billionaire, AI is giving individuals and startups the upper hand, noting that large organizations struggle when technology cycles move faster than internal decision-making structures. “There’s never been a better time to be an inventor and a pioneer than right now because the world is on fire with ideas…

AI godmother Dr. Fei-Fei Li says machines have already begun outperforming people in specific cognitive tasks, even as industry leaders downplay the importance of achieving full human-level intelligence. In a panel conversation at the FT Future of AI Summit in London, AI pioneer Li says it is scientifically incorrect to treat human-level AI as a single finish line. Instead, she says machine intelligence already exceeds human capability in certain domains, while remaining fundamentally different from human cognition. “Parts of machines will supersede human intelligence, and part of the machine intelligence will never be the same as human intelligence. They are…
A high-profile market clash is emerging in the AI trade, as “Big Short” duo Michael Burry and Steve Eisman take opposing stances on Palantir (PLTR). Last week, reports surfaced that contrarian investor Michael Burry placed $912.1 million in put options on PLTR in Q3 of 2025, suggesting he expected the stock to collapse. But fellow “Big Short” investor Steve Eisman thinks that Burry’s move to short a fundamentally strong company would lead to a disastrous outcome. In a new episode of The Real Steve Eisman Playbook podcast, he says betting against strength in a bull cycle can lead to a…
A prominent tech investor and venture capitalist says the American taxpayer would win big if the federal government manages to make a deal with Sam Altman’s OpenAI. In a new episode of the All-In Podcast, billionaire Chamath Palihapitiya says recent government deals indicate that the Trump administration is building a sovereign wealth fund for Americans. “If I was the US government, to the extent that we are doing public-private partnerships, if there is a way for us taxpayers to own a piece of OpenAI, I would say great… So before everybody breathlessly complains, whether you see it or not, there is…
Meta is placing one of the biggest technology wagers in American history, betting that massive domestic buildouts will define the next era of artificial intelligence and national competitiveness. In a new update, the company says it is committing more than $600 billion in the US by 2028 to support AI technology, infrastructure and workforce expansion, positioning data-center investment as both a national strategy and a product imperative. The company says its facilities are now driving widespread economic impact as AI workloads scale across industries and consumer applications. “Our data centers don’t just power our technologies and AI work — they…
A leading enterprise software CEO says companies are underestimating the potential of AI agents, noting that executives are thinking too small. In a new post on X, Box CEO Aaron Levie says corporate AI adoption is entering a more expansive phase, with agents poised to unlock workflows that would have been impossible due to cost, scale or labor limits. “Most of the world hasn’t quite caught on to this point yet. We imagine AI as dropping into today’s workflows and just taking what we already do and making it more efficient by 20% or something. Yet most companies realize that…
The White House’s Crypto and AI Czar draws a line on the future of AI financing, as US officials reject safety-net assumptions for private AI giants. In a new post on X, David Sacks says the federal government will not step in to rescue AI developers, clarifying that market forces, not public guarantees, will decide winners in the frontier-model race. “There will be no federal bailout for AI. The US has at least five major frontier model companies. If one fails, others will take its place. That said, we do want to make permitting and power generation easier. The goal…
Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang walks back his statement that he believes the second-largest economy will come out on top of the AI boom. In an interview in Taiwan, Huang backtracks on his comment that “China is going to win the AI race,” which triggered a three-day NVDA correction and wiped out about $500 billion of the firm’s market cap. Huang downplays his statement, noting that he believes China’s pace of AI development is real and that the US must accelerate to stay ahead of the curve. “That’s not what I said. What I said was China has very good…
A high-stakes feud is breaking into public view as Palantir (PLTR) chief executive Alex Karp fires back at Michael Burry, accusing the famed “Big Short” investor of triggering market panic to exit a bearish wager. Earlier this week, reports emerged that Burry’s Scion Asset Management had placed puts representing more than five million PLTR shares worth $912.1 million. Traders use put options to either hedge against any potential corrective moves or speculate that the underlying asset will collapse. In a new CNBC interview, Karp alleges that Burry is engaging in market manipulation, trying to short PLTR in an effort to…
JPMorgan chief executive Jamie Dimon says investors and workers should not hit the panic button about AI and mass automation. In a new discussion at the America Business Forum in Miami, Dimon says AI will touch every corner of the economy – from customer interactions to day-to-day tasks – but warns against fatalistic assumptions about the future of work. Dimon says AI is a force that will transform productivity, unlock new industries and reduce working hours over time, but notes that the technology will demand thoughtful policy guardrails to cushion labor disruptions. “It’s going to affect, the way I look…
