Banking giant JPMorgan is unveiling two investment themes that would allow investors to capture the potential upside of the AI CapEx wave while being protected against the risk of a recession. In a new instalment of the JPMorgan Asset Management podcast, the bank’s global market strategist, Stephanie Aliaga, says the AI trade has shifted from mega-cap tech names to infrastructure plays. According to Aliaga, investors should consider picking up equities that are likely to benefit from the massive hyperscaler AI spend. “You can maybe invest in where all this CapEx is headed, and the ecosystem is made up of companies,…
Authorities have arrested three people who allegedly bypassed US export control laws to ship massive quantities of sensitive AI servers to China. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) says it is charging Yih-Shyan “Wally” Liaw, Ruei-Tsang “Steven” Chang and Ting-Wei “Willy” Sun over allegations that the trio orchestrated a scheme to smuggle billions of dollars in sensitive AI chips to China in violation of federal export control laws. Authorities say Liaw, Chang and Sun masterminded a large-scale scheme using a Southeast Asia-based intermediary to disguise the true destination of the AI servers. The trio allegedly submitted false paperwork, rerouted shipments,…
Banking titan Goldman Sachs says hundreds of millions of jobs across the globe are on the verge of AI disruption. A Goldman Sachs Research team, co-led by Joseph Briggs, presents its base-case scenario, in which it projects 6-7% of workers will be displaced over a 10-year period as companies adopt AI. According to Briggs, 300 million jobs worldwide are at risk of AI automation, while in the US, about 25% of all work hours can be automated by AI. The team finds that AI can automate nearly 46% of all tasks in office and administrative support roles, 44% in legal jobs…
Billionaire “Bond King” Jeffrey Gundlach says he’s sticking to one play that has worked so far as the United States continues to add to its record-level debt. In a new video update, the DoubleLine Capital CEO says America’s fiscal path is unsustainable as the country is expected to run a $1.9 trillion budget deficit this year. According to Gundlach, the best play for investors remains investing in equities outside the United States, predicting that European and emerging market stocks will continue to outperform the S&P 500. “I continue to recommend non-US investing and equities, which I’ve been recommending since January…
An Anthropic study finds that AI-driven job loss or wage stagnation is not people’s top fear when it comes to artificial intelligence. In a new study, Anthropic polled 80,508 people across 159 countries and 70 languages to gain insights into their hopes and concerns surrounding AI.

Concerns about AI causing job displacement, unemployment, economic inequality, wage stagnation or negative impacts on workers and the economy rank second at 22.3%. Fears about…
Apple may be widely considered a laggard in the AI race, but it is still making bank by taxing artificial intelligence apps distributed through its App Store. Data from the mobile app market intelligence firm AppMagic shows that generative AI apps paid Apple close to $900 million in App Store fees last year, reports the Wall Street Journal. Apple typically charges a 30% commission on app sales and in-app purchases, but the figure drops to 15% for small developers earning less than $1 million per year through the App Store Small Business Program. About 75% of the revenue that Apple…
The Trump administration is defending its position that blacklisting Anthropic as a government vendor is justified and within the bounds of the law. Last week, Anthropic sued the US government after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave the firm a “supply-chain risk to national security” designation and President Trump ordered all federal agencies to stop using its AI models. Anthropic claims that its refusal to allow its AI systems to be used for mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons was met with retaliation that violated the First and Fifth Amendments. In a filing with the US District Court for the…

Here, AI work is exceptionally concentrated, appearing at more…
The chief executive of the most valuable company in the world says the public listing of OpenAI is a lock for this year. In an interview at the Morgan Stanley TMT Conference 2026, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says the previously reported $100 billion investment in OpenAI did not play out because the ChatGPT creator is going public by the end of the year. “We’re going to invest $30 billion in OpenAI. I think the opportunity to invest $100 billion in OpenAI is probably not in the cards. And the reason for that is that they’re going to go public. And…
