When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard. Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences. At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000. Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040. Put another way, that’s roughly equal to:…

This deal is weird. It’s a $500 Lenovo laptop at Best Buy with 16GB of RAM, plus a year of Microsoft (Office) 365, a year of Game Pass Ultimate, and a free Xbox controller. It feels like something laser-targeted towards incoming college students, yet it’s happening at the end of the school year—and only for one day. It’s today’s Best Buy deal of the day. Weird. But beggars can’t be choosers. The laptop in question is a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3. It’s definitely on the budget side of things, but a 15-incher with 16GB of RAM, 512GB of storage, and…

For years, technology has been designed to assist users by providing information, suggestions, or recommendations. But in 2026, that is beginning to change. Instead of simply helping people complete tasks, modern systems are starting to handle those tasks directly. This shift represents a major change in how technology is used, moving from passive tools to more active systems that can take action. From Tools to Action Traditional technology required users to take the final step. Whether it was sending an email, organizing data, or completing a task, the user was always in control of execution. Now, systems are increasingly capable…

Artificial intelligence (AI) stocks were hot in recent years, but that began to change in 2026. Wall Street’s “Great Rotation” away from the technology sector this year resulted in plunging share prices. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite was particularly affected, entering correction territory in the first quarter. The shift in sentiment was caused by a number of concerns, including massive capital expenditures by the likes of Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT). But according to Morningstar, “This AI stock currently looks 38% undervalued relative to our $600 fair value estimate.” Will AI create the world’s first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the…

Investing.com — Bitcoin continues to show remarkable resilience this Saturday, holding steady at $77,743.7 as of 05:46 ET (10:46 GMT). The digital asset has previously shown sensitivity to wartime volatility, but it is currently navigating a high-stakes weekend as U.S. negotiators Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff head to Pakistan for renewed talks with Iranian officials. Investors are closely monitoring the potential for a breakthrough in the eight-week conflict, with any signs of de-escalation likely to provide a tailwind for broader risk-on sentiment. The current diplomatic stalemate remains the primary driver of market uncertainty. The U.S. currently maintains a naval blockade…

My wife recently woke up from a nightmare where AI had taken over human bodies. The likely culprit was less dramatic: Google Photos kept nudging her to “AI” herself when she only wanted to look at pictures of our cats. That’s where a lot of people are with AI right now. Curious, tired, mildly creeped out, and increasingly annoyed when normal apps start acting like every action needs a software demo attached. I get the tension. AI spent the last couple of years trying very hard to become a product. The better trick may be learning when to disappear. The…

Investing.com — A seismic reshuffling of global equity markets is underway as the artificial intelligence boom catapults Taiwan and South Korea past major European nations. Data first reported by Bloomberg shows that Taiwan’s stock market has now reached a value of nearly $4.3 trillion, officially surpassing the United Kingdom to become one of the world’s most significant equity arenas. South Korea is rapidly closing in on the same milestone, sitting just $140 billion behind, as both markets continue to outpace the valuation growth of France and Germany. The shift is driven primarily by explosive gains in a handful of companies…

What looks simple on the surface is actually a setup that keeps updating, optimizing, and responding in real time.Your Portfolio Is Being Rebalanced Around Global Politics You Don’t FollowCredit: Getty ImagesPortfolio shifts are increasingly connected to geopolitical risk, not just market performance.

Every day, decisions are taken that shape the technological landscape in which we live and the media we use, yet public voices are often not part of those conversations. When it comes to debates about the future of public service media it is essential that people’s voices are heard if we want tomorrow’s media to work for everyone in society.

Savings could be around the corner for CFOs who invest more of their budgets in technology upgrades, the results of a new survey suggest. Deloitte’s Q1 2026 North American CFO Signals survey identified cost management as the top internal risk facing 200 CFOs polled from organizations with at least $1 billion in annual revenues.
