Investors Shift to AI Infrastructure Stocks

/in /tarafından

As enthusiasm for major artificial intelligence technology firms cools, some investors are turning their attention to infrastructure companies that support the AI ecosystem.

Shares of leading tech firms have faced pressure amid concerns that heavy spending on AI development may not deliver immediate returns. In response, investors are increasingly focusing on businesses that provide the physical backbone of AI expansion, including chipmakers, data center developers and energy suppliers.

Companies linked to infrastructure have delivered strong performance this year, with several posting double-digit gains even as broader technology benchmarks have lagged.

Asset managers are also adjusting their strategies, launching new investment products aimed at capturing growth across AI-related infrastructure segments.

Industry observers note that rising investment in data centers and energy systems is creating opportunities beyond traditional software-driven AI plays.

At the same time, some analysts caution that valuations across AI-linked sectors are becoming elevated, highlighting the need for balanced investment approaches.

Zuckerberg Defends Instagram Policies in Court

/in /tarafından

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified in a Los Angeles trial, denying claims that Instagram intentionally targets children under 13.

The case centers on allegations that social media platforms harmed a user’s mental health during childhood. Lawyers presented internal company documents suggesting discussions around engaging younger audiences, while Zuckerberg maintained that Meta does not permit users below the minimum age requirement.

He acknowledged past internal conversations about creating safer versions of services for younger users but stated such plans were never implemented.

The lawsuit forms part of a broader wave of legal challenges facing major technology companies over their impact on young users’ wellbeing.

Meta has argued that its platforms include safety measures and that verifying user age remains a broader industry challenge.

The trial could influence future legal debates around platform responsibility and digital product design.
