Introduction:
In today’s episode, we explore five compelling stories shaping the tech and automotive landscape. First, we uncover how Chinese electric vehicle makers Neta and Zeekr allegedly inflated their sales figures by creating “zero-mileage used cars” through insurance schemes, raising questions about market transparency. Next, we examine the U.S. decision to allow Nvidia to sell its powerful H20 AI chips to China, a move that has sparked criticism from lawmakers concerned about national security risks. Third, we discuss the newly enacted U.S. GENIUS Act, which establishes a regulatory framework for stablecoins and positions crypto for mainstream adoption, highlighting Tether’s massive holdings of U.S. debt. Fourth, we dive into Perplexity AI’s ambitious efforts to challenge Google Chrome by negotiating pre-installation deals for its AI-powered Comet browser on new smartphones. Finally, we analyze the brewing conflict over Europe’s AI Act, with Microsoft signaling compliance while Meta’s Joel Kaplan pushes back, warning that the rules could stifle innovation across the continent.
