Alphabet (GOOGL) just exploded to a fresh all-time high following news that Google delivered a record-breaking revenue quarter. In its latest earnings report, CEO Sundar Pichai says the firm posted its “first-ever” $100 billion revenue quarter in Q3, representing a 100% rise from the figures delivered in 2020.

Chair Jerome Powell says Wall Street’s AI boom bears little resemblance to the dot-com era, as the Federal Reserve prepares to end its balance-sheet runoff in the next few weeks. In a statement, the Federal Reserve says it will end quantitative tightening (QT) on December 1st, a move that could drive risk assets like stocks and crypto to greater heights. “The Committee decided to conclude the reduction of its aggregate securities holdings on December 1.” Ending QT means the Fed will stop shrinking its balance sheet by letting Treasuries and mortgages roll off. It signals the liquidity drain is nearing…
Star hedge fund manager Cathie Wood says a market correction is coming, but only after artificial intelligence ignites a productivity surge across the US economy. In a new interview on CNBC’s Squawk Box, ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood says investors should expect a shift in the macro narrative as the AI buildout transitions from hype to real output gains. According to Wood, the AI-driven productivity gains will force the hand of the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates after the midterm elections in an effort to stop the US economy from overheating. “I think we’re going to reach a moment…
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates warns that the rapid development in the AI industry could leave some investors paying a steep price. In a new CNBC interview, Gates says companies racing to build AI infrastructure don’t get to opt out, even if some investments prove costly or poorly timed. According to the Microsoft co-founder, the pressure to stay in the AI race will inevitably punish investors who make one or two critical errors. “Some of them, you know, they’ll commit to data centers whose electricity is too expensive that it could be done overseas. They’ll buy a generation of chips, and…
A sweeping set of investment commitments from Japan signals a major industrial push into the United States, targeting the backbone infrastructure needed to power AI systems and next-generation energy demand. In a new press release, the White House says the investments are tied to the US–Japan Framework Agreement, detailing planned capital deployment across multiple initiatives, spanning power station systems for data centers, advanced electronic components, grid stabilization equipment, optical fiber networks and cooling systems for large-scale energy assets. According to the agreement, Japanese firms intend to pursue up to $477 billion in US-based projects tied to AI and power generation.…
A top semiconductor strategist at Bank of America says the AI buildout is still in its early innings and could continue powering chip stocks through the end of the decade. In a new CNBC interview, Bank of America Securities analyst Vivek Arya argues that the current infrastructure cycle, sparked by the rise of foundation models and accelerated computing, resembles prior multi-year technology waves and may last far longer than most investors expect. He believes the ongoing surge in AI demand is the start of a 10-year investment cycle, and not a hype-driven peak. “And if you look at when ChatGPT…
Nvidia is making a calculated push into the next generation of wireless infrastructure, wagering that artificial intelligence will transform global telecom and reshape the race to 6G. In a fresh press release, Nvidia says it is investing $1 billion in Nokia and launching a new telecom compute platform as part of a partnership to accelerate AI-driven mobile networks and bring US technology leadership back to wireless systems. The goal is to build commercial-grade AI-native radio access networks (AI-RAN) and lay a foundation for AI-powered edge services before the world moves into the 6G era. AI-RAN uses artificial intelligence to enhance…
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon says the biggest danger from artificial intelligence relates to the exponential speed of its development. In an interview with Al Arabiya, Dimon says US tech firms may need to slow down the development of AI systems if deployment races ahead of economic and social capacity, warning that unmanaged acceleration could create a wave of massive job loss. “The only risk is that it happens too fast for society, in which case we need to adjust, that government and business should say, ‘Okay, let’s slow down the development of this.'” Dimon warns that the AI cycle is…
A new federal initiative draws AMD into the center of America’s high-stakes computing race as the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) partners to build AI supercomputers for scientific research. In a new press release, AMD says it is teaming up with the DOE to build two advanced systems, the Lux AI supercomputer and the Discovery supercomputer, marking a combined $1 billion public-private investment. The supercomputers will be housed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in an effort to cement national leadership in artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. The projects, which tap AMD’s latest GPUs, CPUs and networking technologies, are…
Early OpenAI backer Microsoft loosens its AI infrastructure ties with the ChatGPT creator while securing one of the largest cloud commitments in history. In a new company update, OpenAI announces that it has completed its recapitalization, which aims to simplify its corporate structure as the firm gears up for the arrival of artificial general intelligence (AGI). The firm says it has established the OpenAI Foundation, a nonprofit that will have control over its for-profit business, the OpenAI Group, valued at around $130 billion. OpenAI says the structure gives it both the capital and independence to pursue AGI with long-term mission…
