Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most significant technological advancements of recent years. And it could very well have the potential to disrupt global industries.

Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) faced an unusual setback when the stock dropped by over $100 billion following a mishap with its generative AI earlier in the year. Specifically, its Bard chatbot ad provided inaccurate information. Furthermore, analysts criticized the company’s AI search event for lacking details on responding to Microsoft’s (NASDAQ:MSFT) ChatGPT challenge in Feb. Alphabet is in a favorable
While the concept of entertainment stocks to buy during an economic downturn might seem odd if not outrageously risky, there’s a method to the madness. Fundamentally, we humans can’t go full-bore under a constant load of stress. Even the most miserly individual must make room for downtime for balance sake; otherwise, burnout is never too
After coughing back most of its “meme stock” gains during 2022, AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) has performed well thus far in 2023.

Although the fallout from the banking sector appears to have faded, investors still should consider stocks to buy that can weather storms.

To immediately answer the question posed by the headline of this column, I believe that Lucid (NASDAQ:LCID) and LCID stock are headed for much worse fates than Nikola (NASDAQ:NKLA) and NKLA stock.

Will app-based bank SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) go down the tubes during the financial sector meltdown of 2023? Or, will SOFI stock stage a jaw-dropping recovery amid the chaos? Investing in SoFi Technologies certainly isn’t risk-free, but the potential payoff could be astounding. It may be tempting to lump SoFi Technologies in with some failing regional banks.

The discussion around artificial intelligence (AI) has taken a dark turn. In recent days, a number of well-known technology leaders, including Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) co-founder Steve Wozniak, signed an open letter calling for a pause in the development of generative AI that they say poses high-level risks to humans and society.
