Nvidia Surpasses Microsoft in Market Value Again

Nvidia reclaimed its position as the world's most valuable company after its shares rose 4.33% to a record closing high of $154.31, surpassing Microsoft's market capitalisation of $3.77 trillion. The US chipmaker's dominance in the global graphics processing unit (GPU) market, critical for AI systems and large language models, has helped it overcome export restrictions imposed by the US government under President Donald Trump, which halted sales of its H20 AI chip to China.

Huckabee Sanders Fights Trump's Anti-AI State Bill

Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders is urging Republican colleagues to remove a provision from President Donald Trump's bill that would ban state-level AI protections for 10 years. She believes this would undo the progress made by states like Arkansas, Tennessee, Illinois, and Utah in protecting citizens from AI misuse, including copyright infringement and exploitation of individuals' images. Huckabee Sanders argues that Congress should instead establish basic rules and fairness in the AI industry, warning that the current proposal is antithetical to the US founders' vision for a federal system. She suggests targeting China's influence by banning Chinese-owned companies from critical infrastructure and military bases, while encouraging AI growth through state-regulatory frameworks.
