As workers worry about AI, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang says AI is ‘creating an enormous number of jobs’

When it comes to the specter of AI’s labor-displacing potential, Jensen Huang thinks that the American worker has nothing to fear. During a conversation Monday night with MSNBC’s Becky Quick, hosted by the Milken Institute — an economic policy think tank, the jovial Nvidia CEO said that AI was an industrial-scale generator of jobs, not the harbinger of mass unemployment that “AI doomers” have often accused it of being.

Apple eyes US chip partnerships with Intel, Samsung

For over a decade, Apple has relied on one company to supply processors for its devices: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. But the iPhone maker recently held preliminary talks with Intel and Samsung to build chips in the U.S. instead, Bloomberg reports, citing anonymous sources. The report sent Intel shares surging to an all-time high Tuesday. Bringing production stateside could helping Apple keep up with booming demand tied to AI's growth, and offer insulation from any Chinese interference in Taiwan, where most of TSMC's chips are made.

GameStop offers $56B to buy eBay and take on Amazon

GameStop announced late Sunday that it has made an unsolicited $56 billion offer to acquire eBay for $125 a share. The proposal, split equally between cash and stock, represents a 20% premium over eBay's Friday closing price of $104.07. GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen told The Wall Street Journal he envisioned the combined company challenging Amazon for online dominance, with a focus on collectibles. Investors remain skeptical that GameStop, a former meme stock with a market capitalization of $12 billion, can afford the e-commerce giant four times its size.
