Google’s AI Overviews and other AI-powered tools, including chatbots, are devastating traffic for news publishers, per a Wall Street Journal report. Now that people can simply ask a chatbot for answers — sometimes generated from news content taken without a publisher’s knowledge — there’s no need to click on Google’s blue links. That means referrals to news sites are plummeting, cutting off the traffic publishers need to sustain quality journalism. Google released AI Overviews, its search result summary tool, last year. Its rollout hit traffic to sites like vacation guides, health tips, and product reviews, per the Journal. AI Mode,…

Photo: Adam Gray (Getty Images) Shaken by geopolitical shocks, the S&P 500 was flat last week and the Nasdaq nosed just into the red — but the Dow Jones Industrial Average finished significantly lower, weighed down by a double blow from UnitedHealth (UNH) and Nvidia (NVDA). UnitedHealth slashed its full-year forecast after a rough quarter, sending shares tumbling over 20% and dragging the larger index lower. Nvidia also stumbled, dropping nearly 7% after reports of a new U.S. clampdown on AI chip exports to China. Thursday’s further drop pushed Nvidia’s market cap below $2.5 trillion, bringing its total loss to…

President Trump is promising blockbuster economic growth that spans the entire coming decade in part because that is what’s needed to make his “big, beautiful bill” make fiscal sense. Even wary economists say there is one long-shot way it could happen: an AI-fueled boom. The fight over the price tag for Trump’s multitrillion-dollar reconciliation package has complicated its progress in the Senate as the White House makes a case for why the bill will actually pay for itself. The administration’s case hinges on expectations of 3% annual economic growth for the next 10 years. So perhaps it shouldn’t be a…

Disney (DIS) and NBCUniversal sued an artificial intelligence developer for allegedly infringing on their protected works, the first Hollywood corporate titans to join a mushrooming legal war pitting copyright holders against AI upstarts training their models with data scraped from the internet. In a lawsuit filed on Wednesday in a Los Angeles Federal District Court, Disney and NBCUniversal said that AI image-creating platform Midjourney pirated images without authorization. Midjourney obtained copies of Disney’s Star Wars, Minions, and other characters through unauthorized libraries containing works from two Hollywood studios, according to the complaint. Its software allows people to create images from…

Amazon Web Services isn’t betting on one large language model (LLM) winning the artificial intelligence race. Instead, it’s offering customers a buffet of models to choose from. AWS, the cloud computing arm of Amazon (AMZN), aims to become the go-to infrastructure layer for the AI economy, regardless of which model wins out. By making customer choice a defining principle, AWS hopes to win out against rivals that have aligned closely with specific LLM providers — notably Microsoft (MSFT), which partnered with ChatGPT creator OpenAI (OPAI.PVT). “We don’t think that there’s going to be one model to rule them all,” Dave…

Apple’s WWDC 2025 kicks off in Cupertino, Calif., on June 9, offering developers and users a look at the changes coming to the company’s software products throughout the next year. During last year’s WWDC, Apple (AAPL) unveiled its Apple Intelligence AI platform. And while the showcase made for some impressive tech demos, the company hasn’t been able to deliver on all of its high-flying promises. There’s still little sign of when Apple will begin rolling out its generative AI-powered Siri, and the AI capabilities it has pushed out aren’t exactly blowing minds on Wall Street, or anywhere else, for that…

Nvidia’s (NVDA) AI chips laid the groundwork for a massive wave of venture capital investments in AI startups. From the first quarter of 2023 — following the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022 — through the first quarter of this year, venture capitalists have invested $306.5 billion in global AI and machine learning startups and private companies, with $230 billion of that value going to US firms, according to PitchBook data. And over that time frame, AI and machine learning companies accounted for roughly 48% of the total venture capital investments in the US. “ChatGPT’s breakout showed that large language…

Nvidia (NVDA) has outperformed every stock in the S&P 500 (^GSPC) since the launch of ChatGPT in late November 2022. Shares in the chipmaker have risen nearly 700% since ChatGPT brought the power of artificial intelligence to the masses, far outpacing the S&P 500’s roughly 45% over the same time period. The next closest gain for an S&P 500 company in that time period is a 540% pop for Vistra Corp (VST). Nvidia has established itself as the key provider of chips needed to operate AI systems. Now at the epicenter of an AI arms race, Nvidia has established itself…

Nvidia (NVDA) rolled into this year’s Computex Taipei tech expo on Monday with several announcements, ranging from the development of humanoid robots to the opening up of its high-powered NVLink technology, which allows companies to build semi-custom AI servers with Nvidia’s infrastructure. The announcements come as Nvidia rides a recent hot streak after the US announced it was scrapping the Biden administration’s AI diffusion rules that would have put limits on which countries could buy the company’s AI chips. Nvidia was also a topic of President Trump’s visit to Saudi Arabia, where the company said it will supply several hundred…

Nvidia-backed AI cloud company CoreWeave (CRWV) stock has soared over 100% since its IPO in March as investors’ hopes for the AI boom outweigh concerns over what some analysts say is a risky business model. Over the same time frame, the S&P 500 gained a much more modest 7%. CoreWeave is one of the largest holders of Nvidia’s graphics processing units (GPUs) and rents its data center capacity to Big Tech firms such as Microsoft (MSFT) and Meta (META) as they scramble to power their AI ambitions. Nvidia (NVDA) holds a 7% stake in CoreWeave, according to the AI chipmaker’s…
