Nvidia’s massive investment in OpenAI appears to be in limbo after its CEO, Jensen Huang, expressed concerns about the ChatGPT maker’s business approach. In September, reports emerged that Nvidia had made an up to $100 billion commitment to OpenAI along with roughly 10 gigawatts of new capacity of the chipmaker’s systems, enough to power the needs of over eight million US households. At the time, Huang said ChatGPT is “the single most revolutionary AI project in history.” And in November, Huang said that OpenAI and Anthropic are the “fastest-growing companies in the history of humanity.” Citing people with knowledge of the…
White House AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks says artificial intelligence is about to move beyond chatbots and into a more personal, action-oriented phase. In a new episode of the All-In Podcast, Sacks says 2026 will mark the rise of the personal AI assistant, a shift he described as a fundamental change in how people interact with artificial intelligence. “Until now, AI has mainly come in the form factor of a chatbot, and it’s been used as a research tool… It’s better search. Now we’re moving to a completely different form factor, which is, again, this AI assistant, that’s an…
A new report from TRM Labs finds that crypto scammers extracted tens of billions of dollars in digital assets last year as fraud networks rapidly adopted artificial intelligence tools to scale deception, impersonation and psychological manipulation. In its 2026 Crypto Crime Report, the blockchain intelligence company says total crypto scams last year amounted to $35 billion, only slightly below the $38 billion recorded in 2024. Investment-related schemes continue to dominate losses, accounting for 62% of all fraud inflows observed in 2025. Within that category, pig butchering scams and pyramid and Ponzi schemes remain among the most prevalent and damaging forms…

Elon Musk says Tesla’s biggest medium-term risk may not come from competitors, demand or even regulation. Speaking during Tesla’s latest earnings call, Musk says Tesla currently holds a decisive advantage in AI efficiency, particularly in how its systems handle memory and logic. According to Musk, the advantage puts Tesla in a strong position today, but it does not eliminate future vulnerability. “I actually think Tesla is ahead of the rest of the world in intelligence density of AI by an order of magnitude or more. This is going to sound like a pretty bold statement, but I know what the intelligence…
A top Wall Street tech analyst says investor frustration around one Mag 7 name is masking what he sees as one of the strongest growth setups among the mega-cap tech names this year. Speaking in a new CNBC interview, Gil Luria, head of technology research at D.A. Davidson, says the firm is bullish on Microsoft (MSFT) after seeing its cloud growth numbers. “Yeah, it’s still our top pick. Investors may have expected 39 to 40% growth in Azure. They got 38%. That’s probably the only place where I see people picking on it… Most importantly, let’s not forget, Google Cloud,…
Apple just made its largest acquisition in over a decade to step up its rivalry with Meta, OpenAI and Google in the AI wearables arena. The Financial Times reports that the iPhone maker has acquired Israeli tech startup Q.AI for nearly $2 billion, marking Apple’s biggest purchase since it acquired Beats in 2014 for $3 billion. Q.AI has patents showing that its technology is being used in headphones or glasses to analyze “facial micro skin movements” to communicate without speaking. Apple can integrate the tech’s ability to understand “silent speech” into wearables like glasses or headphones, allowing users to communicate…
US banks are rapidly rolling out or expanding their use of AI as fraud losses surge to historic levels. A new study from Cornerstone Advisors polled 416 respondents working at banks and credit unions across the country, including C-level executives. The survey finds that AI adoption among US banks is in full swing. Generative AI is already the most widely deployed AI technology in banking, with 49% of banks reporting active use. Another 29% say they will invest or implement generative AI in 2026, leaving just 4% saying it is not on their radar. Turning to the use cases of…
Tesla’s (TSLA) valuation continues to defy traditional earnings-based frameworks, and banking giant Barclays says investors should not expect the dynamic to change soon. In a new CNBC interview, Barclays senior US autos and mobility analyst Dan Levy says Tesla now occupies a rare position in global equity markets, combining a massive market capitalization with valuation multiples that would normally be unsustainable for most companies. “Tesla is one of two companies in the world that’s a $100 billion-plus valuation, but also trades at 150 times forward earnings or more. And so there is this recognition that clearly the market is pushing…
