If Bill Gates had to start all over again, he'd join the artificial intelligence arms race with an "AI-centric" startup, he says.

Gates researched the AI industry for his upcoming Netflix docuseries "What's Next? But AI will be transformative enough as it grows for any new tech startup to consider how it can fit into that industry, Gates says.

Beauty CEO Tarang Amin told CNBC's Jim Cramer on Monday that the company has performed well even as the cosmetics industry goes through a rough patch, stressing the budget-conscious nature of the products. The company's most recent quarter beat expectations and the beauty retailer said it saw sales grow by 50%. Amin said the company posted 22 consecutive quarters of net sales growth and market share growth. Some beauty companies have reported a slowdown in consumer spending, and Amin said the category is seeing "softness," down 6%.

☆ Nearly 40 million people could die from antibiotic-resistant superbug infections by 2050, new study estimates
▼ + stars: | 2024-09-16 | by ( Jacqueline Howard | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +9 min

Antimicrobial resistance happens when pathogens like bacteria and fungi develop the ability to evade the medications used to kill them. A death attributable to antimicrobial resistance was directly caused by it, while a death associated with AMR may have another cause that was exacerbated by the antimicrobial resistance. For this combination – the antibiotic methicillin and the bacteria S. aureus – the number of attributable deaths nearly doubled from 57,200 in 1990 to 130,000 in 2021. The researchers estimated that, in 2050, the number of global deaths attributable to antimicrobial resistance could reach 1.9 million, and those associated with antimicrobial resistance could reach 8.2 million. Strathdee saw firsthand the effects that antimicrobial resistance can have on health when her husband nearly died from a superbug infection.

Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger holds a sample of a wafer during his keynote speech at the Computex conference in Taipei on June 4, 2024. Intel shares jumped 8% in extended trading Monday after the company said it plans to turn its foundry business into an independent unit with its own board and the potential to raise outside capital. Gelsinger said the restructuring would allow the foundry business to "evaluate independent sources of funding," and comes days after Intel's board met to assess the direction and future of the company. The foundry business, which Intel plans to use to manufacture chips for other customers, has been a big drag on its bottom line, with the company spending roughly $25 billion on it in each of the last two years. With a standalone "operating board" and a cleaner corporate structure, the mechanics of a separation become far easier than trying to turn a fully integrated unit into a separate company.
