The AI build-out is accelerating with Meta joining industry groups to standardize AI bot interactions, Google signing a 20-year nuclear deal for data center power, and AMD acquiring World Labs for $8.2B to bolster its AI capabilities. Marvell also raised its revenue forecast to $20B by 2028. This cluster reflects sustained capital expenditure in AI infrastructure, benefiting semiconductor and energy companies, though it adds to inflationary pressures noted by the KC Fed. Waymo has launched fully autonomous driving in Detroit without human drivers, marking a significant milestone in commercial self-driving technology. This is accompanied by Meta's push to establish standards for AI bot interactions. These developments suggest rapid commercialization of autonomous tech and a maturing AI ecosystem, though regulatory and safety questions remain.
