☆ Why Pope Francis thinks the Church should play a part in G7 debate on AI
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-12 | by ( Christopher Lamb | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

This week, the pope is due to make an historic intervention in the debate around AI at the G7 summit in southern Italy’s Puglia region. AI, the pope believes, can make the world a better place only if it serves the “common good” and does not increase inequalities. European Union lawmakers have already passed a law regulating AI, while a bipartisan group of US senators have set out plans for AI regulation that could lead to federal legislation. “AI and emerging technologies are on Pope Francis’ radar screen,” Larrey, now a professor of philsophy at Boston College, told CNN. It’s clear that Francis sees AI as part of what he called the “epochal change” taking place at the beginning of the 21st century.

Nvidia is still considered cheap and can rise after its earnings report, according to Dan Niles. The semiconductor stock turned artificial intelligence darling has run up big, said the Niles Investment Management founder. "That's why my thoughts are, you get [a] slight move up in the stock when they report," he said on CNBC's " Money Movers ." With this in mind, Niles said traders should look for periods of digestion in Nvidia before the next leg up. The Magnificent Seven stock has climbed more than 90% this year as the AI craze remains top of mind for investors.

In fact, the S & P 500 broke above 5,300 for the first time ever. The one thing we're staying guarded about in this rally is how overbought the stock market has become.

Stock futures were little changed as Wall Street braced for April's consumer price index. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 17 points, while S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures hovered near the flatline. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.32%. Economists polled by Dow Jones expect the consumer price index to show a 0.4% monthly gain, or a 0.3% increase excluding food and energy. Tuesday's producer price index for April contributed to that narrative, showing a 0.5% gain in wholesale prices, above the 0.3% estimate from Dow Jones.

☆ Gen Z is getting hit hard by inflation
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-12 | by ( Krystal Hur | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +8 min

For Gen Z, it was the Covid-19 pandemic. Why are we seeing that Gen Z is tapping into their credit more than their Millennial counterparts 10 years ago? Most Gen Z consumers are not homeowners. And so I think that’s been a big cause of what’s been driving a lot of that financial strain that Gen Z consumers have seen. The key is to not use the personal loans to pay off credit card debt and then run your credit card bills right back up after you do that.
