Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang argues that public fears about AI eliminating jobs are misplaced, saying AI is creating jobs in software, healthcare and legal work. He points to booming energy, chip and infrastructure sectors, along with construction and manufacturing jobs tied to the reindustrialization of the United States and Europe, and calls the job-loss narrative 'precisely wrong.' Asked about differing views in the West and China, he notes strong pushback on AI in the West while China embraces it as useful. Huang stresses that safety is important, that Nvidia has invested heavily in safety systems, and that AI should be directed optimistically so society can benefit from it.

- Nvidia’s Huang highlights AI benefits in Berlin speech amid wider European tour
Speaking at an event in Berlin, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang urged Europe to adopt AI quickly, saying the region should focus on producing AI rather than just consuming it. He showcased Nvidia's full-stack AI factory, spanning hardware, software, libraries and models, and backed the idea of sovereign AI, where countries build and control their own systems. The remarks come during a wider European tour aimed at bolstering new markets for Nvidia's chips. Meanwhile, Vital Knowledge analysts flagged concerns that Nvidia acts as a 'central bank' for the sector through circular financing deals, which Huang rejects, while worries over debt-funded AI spending grew after hotter-than-expected U.S. inflation data raised bets on higher-for-longer Federal Reserve rates.
- Nvidia CEO urges German manufacturers to adopt AI
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, speaking on October 19 with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at an investment conference in Berlin, urged Germany’s car and industrial machinery makers to quickly adopt AI to “re-engineer” the country’s struggling business model by using its manufacturing data and expertise. He argued that digital technology would not replace manufacturing, that AI would augment rather than replace capabilities, and that “the next wave of AI is physical,” spanning robotics, manufacturing, cars and heavy industry. Huang also urged Germany to take up AI technology while keeping its culture, values and knowledge at home, and said the mittelstand of small and medium-sized firms could benefit. The article notes that Germany’s growth is weighed down by high energy prices after losing cheap Russian gas, competition from China in autos, and excessive red tape, while Europe lags the US in building data centres.

- AI is coming for every company, Nvidia boss says
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said artificial intelligence will eventually become central to every company and industry, speaking during a visit to Stockholm where he urged Europe to expand its AI industry. He said Nvidia has invested $8 billion in Europe over the past year and has another couple of billion dollars in the pipeline, citing partners such as UK-based Nscale and Dutch provider Nebius. During the trip, the Swedish supercomputer Sferical One, which uses Nvidia chips, was launched, and Volvo Cars expanded its partnership with Nvidia to improve safety technology for planned self-driving vehicles.
- Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says data center builders have to be 'good neighbors'
At Nvidia's GTC event in Berlin, CEO Jensen Huang said data center builders should partner with local communities before construction, since projects bring benefits but also new neighbors. Pushback is growing, with some US counties and towns imposing outright bans, New York placing a one-year statewide moratorium on construction, and Texas pausing the connection of new data centers to its grid. Residents cite noise, water usage and higher electricity costs, and the issue has become a flashpoint in the midterm elections. To ease tensions, Microsoft (MSFT) and Amazon (AMZN) have dropped controversial non-disclosure agreements, while Huang urged builders to contribute to communities, tailor benefits to local needs and act as good guests.
- The Moment Jensen Huang Realized Nvidia 'Won't Have to Die' Came After a Call From This CEO: 'For the Whole Time, 30 Years…'
In a vlog in Taiwan with podcaster Lex Fridman, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang recalled that in the late 1990s, after repeated unanswered calls to TSMC, he sent a lengthy letter to founder Morris Chang. Chang later invited him to Taiwan, starting a relationship that Huang described as 30 years of TSMC jumping through hoops for Nvidia. Chang said Nvidia was then a billion-dollar company and would need to generate at least $50 million in annual revenue to be a major TSMC customer; within two to three years, Nvidia was among TSMC’s top five customers. Huang’s comments came a day before TSMC reported third-quarter revenue of $46.72 billion, up 41.2% year over year and above the $45.62 billion analyst estimate.

- CoreWeave's business model explained: Why investors are worried
The video likens CoreWeave to a landlord that borrowed heavily to buy 51 data centers and leases them to customers such as Microsoft and Meta. The speaker says it earned about $2.6 billion last quarter, roughly $1.5 billion after operating and capital costs, yet paid $640 million in debt repayments in the same period. Those payments are projected to rise by $300 million next year to $900 million, leaving the company about $626 million in the red after accounting for everything. Debt has grown to about $35 billion, with $10 billion due within 15 months against $5.5 billion in cash, while the company plans to spend around $6.4 billion on new data centers over the next three months. An online calculation cited in the video put the chance of default over the next three years at 55%, close to a coin flip.
- Big Tech's eMudhra fixes may leave crypto bots exposed, CertiK warns
CertiK says crypto trading bots and exchange apps may remain exposed to the eMudhra certificate flaw even though Google, Apple and Microsoft have blocked eight vulnerable certificates issued by India's eMudhra. Many applications outside the browser ecosystem do not enforce Certificate Transparency or receive the same revocation protections, so browser fixes may not cover them. Attackers could use compromised certificates to impersonate HTTPS connections to exchanges, wallets and APIs, replacing deposit addresses or tricking users into approving malicious transactions, though this would also require intercepting or redirecting users' traffic. CertiK urges operators to update their software and certificate trust stores and verify that their applications reject the affected certificates.
- Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley are dominating the AI stock boom. Here's their edge
Fueled by the global AI stock boom, looser capital rules and greater lending to hedge funds, major Wall Street banks have already had a banner year in equities trading. The five largest investment banks generated about $67 billion in equities revenue through Sept. 30, $7 billion more than all of 2025. Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley account for a combined $52 billion, nearly 80% of the total, with prime brokerage, which includes margin loans and securities lending to hedge funds, a key growth driver. At Goldman Sachs, equities financing rose 96% in the third quarter to a record $3.37 billion. Asia, especially South Korea and Taiwan, was the fastest-growing frontier for equities.
- From Cultural Appeal to Strategies for Growing Bank Value
VPBank is placing pop culture at the core of its development strategy, as its shares have risen nearly 27% since late July, well ahead of the nearly flat VN-Index. The bank co-organized and was main sponsor of two BIGBANG concerts in Hanoi, which drew more than 50 million access visits to the ticketing platform, and then brought the group's Official Pop-up Store to its Flagship at 89 Láng Hạ, where thousands of fans queued from 3-4 a.m. The article cites KB Kookmin Bank's partnership with Aespa since 2021 and UOB's use of Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour, and notes that 91 of the world's 100 most valuable bank brands sponsor sports, per Brand Finance Banking 500 2025. It says these moves turn customer experiences into a competitive advantage.
- SpaceX Bulls Rejoice: JPMorgan Sees 209% Upside
JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth more than doubled his SpaceX (SPCX) price target to $500 from $240 on Oct. 21, implying 209% upside, even though the stock is still well below its June 16 high. Third-quarter revenue rose 161% to $14.6 billion, and SpaceX swung to $4.4 billion of net income from a $1.1 billion loss, with first-quarter 2027 revenue guided to $33 billion–$37 billion. Analysts' 2027 EPS estimate has risen to $2.25 from $0.65 three months ago, yet $500 equals 222x that figure, versus a consensus target of $223 as of Oct. 20. The article calls the target plausible but stretched, holding only if the annual recurring revenue forecast from CEO Elon Musk materializes, with capex of $19.6 billion in the third quarter and $35–40 billion expected in the fourth as key risks.
