While the artificial intelligence-fueled tech rally sputtered when tariff concerns grew, it seems to have resumed. Companies that can diversify to address the many demands the industry faces ultimately are poised to profit. Supermicro is one of those companies. The San Jose-based tech firm specializes in high-performance and high-efficiency servers, but it also provides software solutions as well as storage systems for data centers and enterprises focused on cloud computing, AI, 5G, and edge computing.

Artificial intelligence has been the hottest industry, and its scorching success may continue for the rest of the decade. Big tech companies have spent so much money on AI that it's impacting GDP more than consumer spending, and each of those giants has committed to more AI spending in 2026. Following the money and seeing where the AI investments flow can result in tremendous returns for patient investors.

Helsingborg-based proptech AI startup Proplab continues to build momentum. After opening up their platform for residential real estate this fall, the company has seen rapid growth, now with 100+ broker offices connected across Sweden, on top of their existing commercial property clients. Over the past months, Proplab has established a collaboration with a major brokerage chain and another one is now on the way in. Their traction is clear, revenues more than doubled from October to November this year.

One of the covers for the Time issue is a painting by Jason Seiler that repurposes the iconic 1932 photograph Lunch atop a Skyscraper (whose photographer remains anonymous). The original photo shows a group of ironworkers jauntily eating lunch on a steel beam during the construction of Rockefeller Center, seemingly oblivious to the fact that they are 850 feet above the ground.

Mortgage industry trade groups lauded the order. CHLA commends the Trump Administration for yesterday's Executive Order that will help maximize the full capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI), said Scott Olson, executive director for the Community Home Lenders of America (CHLA). Individual Mortgage Banks are already gaining efficiencies through the use of AI and avoiding a patchwork of 50 different state laws is crucial to those efforts.

It is happening again, Agent Cooper. Jimmy Fallon is shilling for a tech venture. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was a guest on The Tonight Show on December 8, and Fallon was all about this nascent technology and Altman's claims that it can be used to help raise your children. The whole thing was eerily similar to when Paris Hilton gifted Fallon a Bored Ape NFT. What does Altman think of simulation theory, I wonder?

Besides blocking users from reading its website with an AI chatbot, the magazine anointed the "architects of AI" as its most important visionaries of 2025, eschewing the definition of "person" yet again. The eyeroll-inducing announcement was met with plenty of incredulity, especially considering the astronomical amount of money being spent on building out data centers, their enormous carbon footprint, and a whole litany of other ethical conundrums that the embrace of generative AI has spawned.

This was the year when artificial intelligence's full potential roared into view, and when it became clear that there will be no turning back or opting out,

Investing in the stock market is an excellent way to build lasting wealth over the long term. By leveraging the power of compounding returns, you can grow your nest egg into a significant amount of money for retirement or other financial goals in mind. There are many approaches to investing, but one popular option is investing in growth stocks. These stocks tend to be fast-growing companies that are disrupting industries, leveraging technology, or tapping into previously underserved markets.

The Navy is pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into an artificial intelligence system that it says has sped up key shipbuilding processes. In one case, the AI cut painstaking processes of submarine schedule planning - mapping out how the many pieces of construction fit together and making sure people, parts, and yard space are available at the right time - from many hours to only minutes.

Christian Pilarsky vividly remembers the moment, in 2022, when he realized that his technique for modelling pancreatic cancer had finally worked. A molecular biologist at the University Hospital Erlangen in Germany, Pilarsky had been struggling for three years to perfect the method, which involves growing miniature 3D replicas of pancreatic tumours derived from a person's cells. "Trying this and trying that" and correcting errors along the way,

A company director being pursued for €765,000 following the collapse of her packaging firm has been using artificial intelligence to "churn out reams" of legal papers, the High Court has heard.

I think Alphabet and Microsoft can top that figure by the end of 2026. Here's what my prediction would mean for shareholders: Alphabet is currently worth $3.8 trillion. The stock must increase 29% for the company to achieve a market value of $4.9 trillion. Microsoft is currently worth $3.6 trillion. The stock must increase 36% for the company to achieve a market value of $4.9 trillion.

The press release sent today emphasized USPTO Director John Squires' commitment since his first day in office to ensuring that emerging technologies will not be hampered by judicial interpretations of U.S. eligibility law that have made it harder to enforce patents. On the day he was sworn in as the 60th USPTO Director, Squires issued the first patents of his term, both in technology sectors that often face increased scrutiny about patent eligibility during patent prosecution and in the courts.

When it comes to Chinese internet giant Baidu ( NASDAQ:BIDU), I think investors stand to get AI-powered growth at a very reasonable price. Additionally, with a 0.43 beta, investors might be able to enjoy a less choppy ride once the next market-wide correction in U.S. markets finally happens. At the time of this writing, shares of Baidu trade at 10.8 times trailing price-to-earnings (P/E). Good luck finding anything that cheap that's remotely tied to the AI trade.

Some of the world's most powerful and well-connected leaders converged in Manhattan on Wednesday, and one subject dominated the room: artificial intelligence. Three years after ChatGPT launched, revolutionizing the way the world thinks about and uses AI, the arms race is bigger than ever - perhaps too big. At the annual New York Times DealBook Summit, leaders from BlackRock's Larry Fink to Lai Ching-te, the President of Taiwan, were asked about the state of the AI industry and the potential for an AI bubble, a hot topic in Silicon Valley and on Wall Street over the past few months.

Artificial intelligence has fueled a multi-trillion-dollar stock market surge over the past few years, propelling companies like Microsoft ( NASDAQ:MSFT ) and Nvidia ( NASDAQ:NVDA ) to record valuations. Investors poured funds into AI on promises of transformative efficiency and new revenue streams, driving the S&P 500 's tech-heavy gains. Yet doubts about AI's staying power are mounting as evidence shows limited returns on investment. Meta Platforms ( NASDAQ:META ), for instance, implemented an AI hiring freeze in August after aggressive poaching, signaling a pause amid restructuring and bubble fears.

Data disruption. For example, many of the agency IT forecasts and dashboards have been dark since March. DOGE's impact. The organization may have wound down much of its operations, but its impact will be felt for a long time. Government-wide Software-as-a-Service agreements. These are proliferating and the General Services Administration is leading here with its OneGov strategy. Artificial intelligence. These technologies are accelerating, but with few guardrails.
