AI Tech Talks & A Steel Deal 03/18/24

Apple is reportedly in talks with Google to license AI model suite Gemini for iPhones. CNBC’s Steve Kovach discusses the report and the impact it could have on regulatory concerns for big tech. Palantir co-founder and tech investor/entrepreneur Joe Lonsdale shares his perspective on Reddit’s imminent IPO and on AI’s trajectory, both for economic efficiency and for sentience. Japan’s Nippon Steel plans to buy U.S. Steel for over $14B, but President Biden has spoken out against the deal. President of the U.S. Steel Union David McCall explains why he welcomes the President’s comments. Plus, the Fed kicks off its next two day policy meeting this week, and Vladimir Putin will serve another six-years as Russia’s leader.
