The gaming division, encompassing Xbox and Game Pass, is a significant part of its ecosystem.* Early AI Integration: Microsoft was quick to invest heavily in AI, particularly through its partnership with OpenAI. This foresight allowed them to rapidly integrate cutting-edge AI capabilities into their existing product suite, from Azure AI services for developers to AI-powered features in Office (like Copilot) and Windows. This early move positioned them as a leader in the generative AI race, attracting new enterprise clients eager to leverage these new tools.This consistent execution and strategic vision have been key to Microsoft's impressive stock performance and market capitalization growth over the past half-decade. They've effectively shed any lingering perceptions of being a "legacy tech" company and firmly cemented their position as an innovation leader.Google (Alphabet): AI's Grand Ambition and Search's EvolutionAI's Ascendance with Gemini:* Catching Up Fast: While some might argue Google started a bit later in the generative AI race compared to certain competitors, their speed of development and integration with Gemini AI has been truly remarkable. Gemini is now a seriously impressive large language model, and its capabilities are expanding rapidly.* Unmatched Reach for AI Integration: What gives Google an almost unfair advantage is its massive market share and user base across its core products. Think about it: Google Search, Android, Chrome, YouTube, Google Workspace – these are platforms used by billions. Integrating AI, specifically Gemini, into these widely adopted products means AI features can reach an unprecedented number of people quickly and seamlessly. This integration isn't just about search; it's about enhancing productivity in Docs, creating content in YouTube, and smart features across Android devices.The Search Conundrum and AI's Role:* Search Revenue Dominance: Google Search has historically been, and remains, the primary engine of Alphabet's revenue, primarily through advertising. The concern for some analysts has been that as users increasingly turn to AI chatbots for answers, the traditional "blue link" search model might see reduced engagement, potentially impacting ad revenue.* The AI Mode and Future of Search: However, Google isn't sitting still. They've already integrated "AI Overviews" (or "AI mode") directly into Google Search results, providing synthesized answers directly. The challenge, and the opportunity, is to evolve Search in a way that provides instant, AI-powered information while still maintaining a valuable advertising ecosystem. If Google can swiftly adapt its advertising models to this new AI-first search paradigm, their extensive reach could turn this potential threat into a massive growth driver. The rapid progress with Gemini suggests they are indeed acting quickly to address this.* Cloud Growth (Google Cloud Platform): Similar to Microsoft and Amazon, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a significant and growing part of Alphabet's business, competing for enterprise cloud workloads and contributing to diversification beyond advertising.So, while there are always questions around how AI will reshape traditional revenue streams, Google's aggressive AI development with Gemini and its unparalleled user base position it strongly for future innovation and monetization.Amazon: E-commerce King and Cloud PowerhouseMoving on to Amazon, a company that, like the others, continues to perform exceptionally well. Amazon is a fascinating duality: it's the undisputed king of e-commerce, but also a dominant force in cloud computing.E-commerce Resilience:* Consumer Spending: Despite economic fluctuations, Amazon's e-commerce platform continues to thrive. It benefits from habitual consumer behavior, its vast selection, competitive pricing, and unparalleled logistics network (Prime shipping being a huge draw).* Advertising Growth: Increasingly, Amazon's e-commerce platform is also a major advertising hub, allowing brands to reach consumers directly at the point of purchase. This is a high-margin business that continues to grow rapidly.Amazon Web Services (AWS) - The Profit Engine:* Cloud Market Leader: AWS remains the global leader in cloud infrastructure services. Its reliability, extensive suite of services, and deep integration with countless businesses make it incredibly sticky. AWS consistently accounts for a disproportionate share of Amazon's overall profitability, subsidizing and fueling other ventures.* AI for Enterprise: AWS is also a key player in providing AI tools and infrastructure for businesses. From foundational models to machine learning services, AWS enables countless companies to build and deploy their own AI solutions, ensuring Amazon's role in the AI revolution extends far beyond its own consumer products.New Ventures:* Logistics and Delivery Network: Amazon's continuous investment in its own logistics infrastructure gives it a massive competitive advantage, enabling faster and more reliable deliveries.* Healthcare (Amazon Pharmacy, One Medical): Amazon continues to make inroads into the healthcare sector, leveraging its logistical prowess and customer-centric approach to disrupt traditional models.* Entertainment (Prime Video, Amazon Music): These services enhance the Prime subscription value, creating a sticky ecosystem that keeps users engaged within Amazon's orbit.Amazon's strength lies in its ability to innovate and expand into new sectors while maintaining dominance in its core businesses. Its cloud services provide a robust financial backbone, allowing it to take calculated risks and continue its relentless pursuit of market expansion.Each of these companies faces unique challenges and possesses distinct advantages. But what's clear is their relentless pursuit of innovation, their massive scale, and their profound impact on how we live and work. Watching their strategies unfold, particularly in the realm of artificial intelligence and new computing paradigms, will be fascinating in the years to come.That is all for this week.

Digital learning is undergoing a major shift. As businesses look to retain talent and equip employees for evolving roles, the demand for workforce upskilling is rising fast. A 2023 McKinsey Global Institute survey found that 87% of companies worldwide are either experiencing skill gaps or expect to within five years, posing risks to productivity and national competitiveness.What will it take to make learning more personal, relevant, and accessible, especially for mid-sized businesses that lack traditional training infrastructure?On this episode of DisruptED, host Ron Stefanski once again sits down with John Baker, founder and CEO of D2L and founder of SkillsWave, a new platform focused on workforce upskilling. Together, they explore what inspired Baker to launch a second venture and how SkillsWave is removing friction from the upskilling journey for businesses and learners alike.Key Highlights:Bridging Industry and Academia: SkillsWave connects employers and academic institutions to deliver personalized upskilling that helps workers advance their careers.Upskilling Without the Overhead: Small and mid-size businesses gain access to usage-based learning models without the need for costly internal training platforms.AI-Powered Career Matching: SkillsWave uses AI and curated marketplaces to align employee roles and goals with targeted academic programs and in-demand skills.John Baker is the founder, President, and CEO of D2L, a global leader in education technology, and also the founder and Executive Chairman of SkillsWave, focused on advancing workforce skills.

According to the World Economic Forum, over 1.5 billion learners were impacted by pandemic-related school closures, accelerating the shift to digital-first learning models. This transformation continues as institutions seek scalable, engaging, and accessible solutions for learners of all backgrounds.What does it take to design digital learning that feels personal, human, and deeply impactful, not just digitized?This episode of DisruptED, hosted by Ron Stefanski, features John Baker, founder and CEO of D2L. Together, they explore how a question John asked in college, “What problem can I solve that has the biggest impact?” sparked a 26-year journey in transforming global education. The conversation covers D2L's early mission, enduring market success, and how it continues to lead the e-learning transformation by empowering educators and learners around the world.Key Highlights:From Idea to Impact: John launched D2L in college with a mission to break barriers in learning.

Big tech stocks have stabilised after the DeepSeek shock in January, but will they continue to dominate the market this year, or is the next disruption around the corner? Tinus Rautenbach, head of Investec's new trading and investing platform, Clarity, shares his views on the latest episode of the No Ordinary Wednesday podcast. Investec Focus Radio SA
This week, Elon Musk—amidst his other duties of gutting United States federal government agencies as head of the “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE)—announced a hostile bid alongside a consortium of buyers to purchase control of OpenAI for $97.4 billion. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman vehemently replied that his company is not for sale.The artificial intelligence landscape is shifting rapidly. The week prior, American tech stocks plummeted in response to claims from Chinese company DeepSeek AI that its model had matched OpenAI's performance at a fraction of the cost. Days before that, President Donald Trump announced that OpenAI, Oracle, and Softbank would partner on an infrastructure project to power AI in the U.S. with an initial $100 billion investment. Altman himself is trying to pull off a much-touted plan to convert the nonprofit OpenAI into a for-profit entity, a development at the heart of his spat with Musk, who co-founded the startup.Bethany and Luigi discuss the implications of this changing landscape by reflecting on a prior Capitalisn't conversation with Luigi's former colleague Sendhil Mullainathan (now at MIT), who forecasted over a year ago that there would be no barriers to entry in AI. Does DeepSeek's success prove him right? How does the U.S. government's swift move to ban DeepSeek from government devices reflect how we should weigh national interests at the risk of hindering innovation and competition? Musk has the ear of Trump and a history of animosity with Altman over the direction of OpenAI. Does Musk's proposed hostile takeover signal that personal interests and relationships with American leadership will determine how AI develops in the U.S. from here on out? What does regulating AI in the collective interest look like, and can we escape a future where technology is consolidated in the hands of the wealthy few when billions of dollars in capital are required for its progress?Show Notes:On ProMarket, check out:Why Musk Is Right About OpenAI by Luigi Zingales, March 5, 2024Who Will Enforce AI's Social Purpose? By Roberto Tallarita, March 16, 2024

Is it down to the Digital Age? Not only has the world become a smaller place but now, more and more power's concentrated in fewer and fewer hands. Elon Musk's offer to buy the parent company of ChatGPT from Sam Altman's OpenAI is the latest example of a whole new age, an age where a billionaire like Musk can also have one foot in government as he and Donald Trump arbitrarily purge the federal payroll. Altman, who swiftly rejected Musk's offer is here in Paris for the AI summit co-hosted by France and India. Are Silicon Valley tech titans to be courted or combatted at the dawn of an almighty scramble for the planet's data and resources? Is it a battle for market share or a battle of values?In writing global governance rules for AI, who defines what's public and what's private, what's free speech and what's censorship or stoking hate? And how much in common between those that are neither the US nor China in setting global standards that actually protect citizens rights and foster trust in these most turbulent times?Produced by Rebecca Gnignati, Elisa Amiri, Ilayda Habip.
As the co-founder and former CEO of Microsoft, Bill Gates made his name as one of the most influential people in modern tech. Now, in his new memoir Source Code: My Beginnings, he's looking back on the forces that made him. In a wide-ranging Canadian broadcast exclusive interview, Piya Chattopadhyay speaks with Gates about navigating childhood social challenges, how his passion for computers blossomed, what drove his confidence to take on tech giants as a teen, and his candid belief that he'd be diagnosed with autism if he was growing up today.
Send us a textGUESTS: Alex Newman, CEO, Liberty Sentinel Media Soeren Kern, Geopolitical Analyst and Managing Editor The Christian Worldview JournalFront and center at Donald Trump's inauguration were eight “Tech Titans,” the CEOs of the largest and most influential technology companies in the world, including Apple, Google, Meta, TikTok, OpenAI, Uber, Tesla, and Amazon. Each is reported to have contributed $1M to Trump's inaugural fund.Considering that several of them and/or their companies opposed or suppressed Trump and his supporters in the past, why were they there, sitting amongst Trump's family members no less? And how should we interpret that all of them run tech companies, pushing new frontiers of artificial intelligence (AI), data collection, even transhumanism?Alex Newman, international journalist at Liberty Sentinel Media and author of Indoctrinating Our Children to Death, will join us this weekend on The Christian Worldview Radio Program to explain what a technocracy is and how the exploding growth of AI fits into it. Alex will also interpret why Trump's talk of acquiring Greenland and Canada is a hint at regional governance.Later in the program, Soeren Kern, geopolitical analyst and managing editor of The Christian Worldview Journal will join us to continue our conversation from last week about how the Israeli-Hamas ceasefire and hostage release deal is the first step to restarting the Abraham Accords and the inevitable pressure on Israel to agree to a two-state solution.Be sure to join us for a packed hour on national and world events!___________________________________RELATED RESOURCE: Alex Newman joined us for a Speaker Series event in the Spring of 2024.

In this episode of Rocketship.FM, we dive into one of the boldest AI initiatives ever announced: Project Stargate. Backed by tech giants like OpenAI, Oracle, SoftBank, and MGX, this $500 billion venture is set to transform AI infrastructure in the United States. With President Trump championing the project from day one of his presidency, it's being framed as a move to secure America's leadership in artificial intelligence. But the stakes are massive—so is the controversy. While figures like Larry Ellison and Masayoshi Son are rallying behind Stargate's potential, critics, including Elon Musk, aren't holding back. From concerns about funding transparency to simmering tensions between OpenAI and Microsoft, we explore the power plays, partnerships, and political maneuvering that could define the future of AI. Will this unprecedented collaboration push the boundaries of innovation—or unravel under the weight of competing agendas? Tune in as we break down what this means for tech, the economy, and the geopolitical AI race.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk pours cold water on President Trump's A.I. mega-project Stargate, saying Softbank, Oracle and OpenAI ‘don't actually have the money' to realise the plan but Sam Altman hits back asking Musk to put the country's interests first. Meanwhile at Davos, President Trump's tariff threats loom large ahead of his special video address to the World Economic Forum later today. Trump has warned Russia of further sanctions if the war in Ukraine is not resolved quickly while Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskyy's top advisor Andriy Yermak tells CNBC that Kyiv will not compromise on territorial integrity or sovereignty. We also hear from Polish President Andzrej Duda who calls for a dramatic increase in defence spending among NATO members warning Putin's expansionism is ‘insatiable'.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

MSNBC's Ari Melber hosts "The Beat" on Friday, December 13 and reports on tech leaders meeting with President-elect Trump as companies make major donations. Plus, "Rick and Morty's" Dan Harmon joins for a wide-ranging interview. Alencia Johnson and Eugene Robinson join.
Leo Laporte, Harry McCracken, Christina Warren, and Lou Maresca discuss the evolving relationship between the tech industry and the incoming Trump administration, the future of TikTok in the U.S., advances in AI and its impact on everything from weather forecasting to web browsing, and much more. • Elon Musk and other tech billionaires are playing a major role in shaping President-elect Trump's transition team. The panel debated what this could mean for issues like antitrust regulation of Big Tech. • Trump has named entrepreneur and investor David Sacks as the White House AI and Crypto Czar. Sacks is an Elon Musk ally who has been critical of OpenAI. • The Hak Tuah cryptocurrency project suffered a 90% price crash shortly after launch amid controversy, in what may have been a "rug pull" scam. • Trump's pick to lead NASA, private astronaut Jared Isaacman, is expected to push the agency to partner more with SpaceX and the commercial space industry. But his close ties to Elon Musk could face political hurdles. • TikTok's future remains murky as U.S courts uphold a potential ban. The crew discusses the free speech implications and the role of geopolitics. EU also probes TikTok over Russian election interference. • Entrepreneur Frank McCourt's Project Liberty consortium is reportedly advancing a bid to acquire TikTok's U.S. operations, positioning it as a "people's bid." • The U.S. House is set to approve an additional $3 billion to fund the removal of Chinese telecom equipment like Huawei and ZTE from domestic networks. • Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger is departing after a challenging 3-year stint. The chip giant's future strategy is up in the air as it faces intensifying competition, but the chip company did outline breakthroughs at a conference in advanced transistors, packaging, and interconnects that could help it regain a manufacturing edge. • OpenAI is running a "12 Days of OpenAI" promotion highlighting new AI models and services. The TWiT panel debated whether it's mainly a technical showcase or a monetization push. • Google unveiled a weather forecasting AI model that it says outperforms the leading U.S. and European forecast systems, especially for predicting extreme events. • ElevenLabs launched a beta product that allows users to create and edit entire AI-generated podcast episodes, sparking discussions about the impact on human podcast creators. • With the rise of AI, could we see a new generation of AI-infused web browsers that better understand our behavior? A long blog post by tech guru Om Malik explored the possibilities. • In the wake of China's "Salt Typhoon" hacks of telecom networks, the FCC is proposing new cybersecurity rules - but with a twist that would allow law enforcement backdoor access. • In the latest twist in the CSAM scanning saga, Apple is being sued for abandoning the controversial child abuse image detection feature, after previously being pilloried for trying to implement it. • A sleeker, more accurate definition of a "second" based on atomic clocks using Strontium instead of Cesium atoms could be coming by 2030, enabling new scientific breakthroughs. • Just in time for Christmas, a pair of the iconic ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz sold at auction for a whopping $28 million, a new record for movie memorabilia.
