Renewable energy stocks present a buying opportunity despite recent electoral headwinds, according to UBS analysts, while Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk continues to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41059891/elon-musk-says-because-almost-none-of-you-do-your-math-sums-the-world-is-largely-not-using-the-big-f">advocate solar power&#8217;s future dominance</a>.
What Happened: UBS analysts on Thursday elevated U.S. and EU renewables to their top-ranking stock theme, citing an attractive entry point following steep post-election losses, <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/renewable-energy-stocks-election-trump-power-demand-data-centers-ubs-2024-11">reported</a> Business Insider. 
The announcement comes as clean energy shares have tumbled, with companies like Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) and Enphase Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>) down over 24% since President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s victory.
&#8220;The environment of an unrelenting power demand shock puts just about every source of power generation in a solid position to capitalize,&#8221; UBS analysts wrote, pointing to surging power needs from artificial intelligence data centers and corporate sustainability goals.
The analysts remain optimistic despite Trump&#8217;s expected scaling back of President Joe Biden-era clean energy initiatives. They argue that companies could &#8220;grandfather&#8221; existing subsidies and that state-level emission goals will sustain industry growth.

Musk, despite his new role in the incoming Trump administration, has historically remained bullish on renewable energy. &#8220;Once you understand Kardashev Scale, it becomes utterly obvious that essentially all energy generation will be solar,&#8221; he posted on X. He noted that a single square mile receives <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41059891/elon-musk-says-because-almost-none-of-you-do-your-math-sums-the-world-is-largely-not-using-the-big-f">approximately 2.5 gigawatts of solar energy</a>.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GNRC#NYSE">GNRC</a>) in the U.S., along with European players like Iberdrola (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBDRY#OTC">IBDRY</a>), Siemens Energy (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMEGF#OTC">SMEGF</a>), and Orsted (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOGEF#OTC">DOGEF</a>). The analysts cite historical precedent, noting that solar installations grew 50% during Trump&#8217;s previous term.
The renewable sector&#8217;s growth potential is further supported by expanding applications, including Musk&#8217;s recent suggestion that SpaceX&#8217;s Starlink satellite network could integrate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41648885/spacex-ceo-elon-musk-agrees-that-starlink-could-combine-hardware-with-solar-panels-and-batteries">solar panels and batteries into its hardware offering</a>.

As Trump Backs 'Drill Baby, Drill,' His DOGE Co-Lead Elon Musk Believes 'All Energy Generation Will Be Solar' — Here's What UBS Recommends After Election Dip

The EU is reportedly set to investigate Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) in 2025 for favoring its in-house branded products.
What Happened: The EU is preparing a case against Amazon under its Digital Markets Act or DMA, reported Reuters, citing people with direct knowledge of the matter.
The probe will focus on whether Amazon&#8217;s marketplace gives an unfair advantage to its own products over those sold by third-party vendors. If Amazon is found to be in violation of the DMA, it could be hit with a fine amounting to 10% of its global annual turnover.

The decision to launch the investigation will be made by the incoming EU antitrust chief, Teresa Ribera, in the upcoming months.
Amazon did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.
Subscribe to the&nbsp;<a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a>&nbsp;to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Why It Matters: The DMA, which was implemented last year, prohibits Amazon and six other big tech firms from favoring their products and services on their platforms.
In January, Amazon&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/01/36688100/amazons-irobot-deal-faces-likely-rejection-from-eu-competition-watchdog-report">$1.7-billion acquisition</a> of iRobot Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IRBT#NASDAQ">IRBT</a>), was abandoned due to opposition from the EU&#8217;s competition watchdog.
Earlier this week, Amazon and Elon Musk-led SpaceX's efforts to block cases brought by the National Labor Relations Board or NLRB also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42054405/amazon-and-spacexs-efforts-to-block-nlrb-cases-in-jeopardy-as-appeals-court-raises-key-legal-concerns">faced obstacles</a>.
Amazon is contesting a case involving its first union at a warehouse in New York City.
Last month, Amazon reported a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41664778/amazon-q3-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-q4-guidance-new-kindles-significantly-outperfor">successful third quarter</a> in 2024, with net sales of $158.9 billion, an 11% increase year-over-year, beating the Street consensus estimate of $157.2 billion.
Price Action: Amazon shares closed Thursday&#8217;s session down 2.22% at $198.38. In after-hours trading, the stock dropped further, reaching $198.08 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Amazon At Risk Of Major Fine As EU Investigates Alleged Preference For In-House Products Under Digital Markets Act: Report

Bitcoin&#8216;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) surge toward $100,000 could face a significant pullback due to excessive market leverage, Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd. CEO Mike Novogratz warned in a recent interview, even as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42127938/bitcoin-analyst-warns-of-4-6-flash-crashes-before-year-end-as-it-inches-closer-to-100k-thats-the-moment-altcoins-shoot-off">cryptocurrency continues setting new records</a>.
What Happened: The billionaire investor highlighted concerning levels of leverage in the crypto ecosystem. &#8220;There&#8217;s a ton of leverage in the system right now,&#8221; Novogratz <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPiWKHHiXyY">said</a> on CNBC. &#8220;The crypto community is levered to the gills, and so there will be a correction.&#8221;
While Novogratz maintains that Bitcoin reaching $100,000 is &#8220;inevitable&#8221; &#8211; with prices recently touching $99,000 &#8211; he projects a potential retreat to $80,000 during a correction phase. This would represent a 20% decline from the six-digit milestone.
The warning comes amid broader market developments, including MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), completing a $3 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/42126020/whats-going-on-with-microstrategy-stock-after-the-bell">convertible note offering to acquire additional Bitcoin</a>. The company currently holds 331,200 Bitcoin which it purchased at an average price of $49,874 per coin.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42125642/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-prepping-for-an-early-thanksgiving-btc-is-currently-less-than-one-eth-away-from-100000-says-trader">Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Prep For Early Thanksgiving: &#8216;BTC Is Currently (Less Than) One ETH Away From $100,000,&#8217; Says Trader</a>
Supporting Novogratz&#8217;s cautionary stance, cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe forecasts &#8220;4-6 flash crashes&#8221; before year-end, with Bitcoin potentially <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42127938/bitcoin-analyst-warns-of-4-6-flash-crashes-before-year-end-as-it-inches-closer-to-100k-thats-the-moment-altcoins-shoot-off">dropping 5-10% in single-day moves</a>. Alternative cryptocurrencies could see even steeper declines of 20-30%.
Why It Matters: Despite these concerns, Novogratz expressed optimism about crypto&#8217;s regulatory outlook under President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s administration. &#8220;The entire cabinet almost owns bitcoin, and are proponents of digital assets,&#8221; he noted, suggesting a &#8220;paradigm shift&#8221; in cryptocurrency regulation.
The current crypto market surge has pushed total market capitalization to $3.3 trillion, with Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) trading at $3,359 and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) reaching $262. Bitcoin currently trades at $98,563, maintaining its upward trajectory despite warnings of potential corrections.
&#8220;Normally you hit 100, you bounce off a bit,&#8221; Novogratz concluded while acknowledging the possibility of higher prices due to limited supply and strong demand, particularly from Middle Eastern investors and public equity markets.
Price Action: Bitcoin is currently trading at $99,138, up nearly 2.4% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Bitcoin's Path To $100K 'Inevitable' But Crypto Community Is 'Leveraged To The Gills,' Warns Galaxy's Mike Novogratz, Predicts Correction To $80K Ahead

Silicon Valley billionaire and venture capitalist <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41086806/elon-musk-mocks-vinod-khosla-after-openai-investor-mixes-up-argentinas-poverty-and-unemployment-rate">Vinod Khosla</a> has issued a bold prediction: artificial intelligence (AI) will replace most human jobs over the next 25 years.&nbsp;
In a recent blog post, Khosla wrote about the implications of AI and warned that "80% of 80% of all jobs, maybe more, can be done by AI, be it primary care doctors, psychiatrists, sales people, oncologists, farmworkers or assembly line workers, structural engineers, chip designers, you name it."

</ul>
Khosla's experience gives weight to his predictions. He cofounded Sun Microsystems and has invested heavily in tech giants like Amazon, Google and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41078513/openai-plans-to-more-than-double-chatgpt-price-over-next-5-years-report">OpenAI</a>. He has also spent over four decades studying disruptive technology and believes that AI will do most jobs "better, faster and cheaper" than humans, drastically changing the labor market.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A World Without Jobs</h2>
According to his blog, Khosla says that AI will create a world where human labor isn't necessary for most tasks. It can assist with and perform tasks like assembly line work, investment banking and even medical diagnosis.&nbsp;
The warnings Khosla discusses surrounding AI aren't meant to spread fear but to advocate for proactive solutions as our world heads in this direction. He talks about the risk of an "economic dystopia," where wealth becomes increasingly concentrated at the top – more so than it is now – and both intellectual and physical labor lose their value.&nbsp;
Khosla states that if governments don't proactively identify this problem and devise solutions for AI taking over jobs, millions could face <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40760261/biden-administration-says-unemployment-is-low-but-do-americans-see-it-that-way">unemployment</a>.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Case for Universal Basic Income (UBI)</h2>
According to Khosla, universal basic income (UBI) is one solution to the looming AI job crisis. UBI is a government program that regularly provides every adult citizen with a set amount of money to help alleviate poverty.&nbsp;
Khosla believes that UBI will become essential as AI replaces jobs. It can provide a safety net for those whose jobs become automated. "As AI reduces the need for human labor, UBI could become crucial, with governments playing a key role in regulating AI's impact and ensuring equitable wealth distribution," he wrote.
The concept of UBI isn't new, but it has gained renewed attention as automation accelerates. Khosla joins a growing list of Silicon Valley figures, including Sam Altman and Mark Zuckerberg, who advocate for UBI to cushion the economic disruption caused by AI.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Shorter Workweek and More Meaningful Life</h2>
While Khosla spoke about AI&#8217;s challenges, he also presented several upsides, one of which is a shorter workweek. He envisions a world where AI handles mundane, labor-intensive jobs, freeing people up to take on more fulfilling activities. He believes that with the right policies, AI could bring about a three-day workweek, where people can focus more on hobbies, spend time with loved ones and enjoy life more.&nbsp;
"Life won't become less meaningful once we eradicate undesirable, toil-intensive jobs," he wrote. "Quite the opposite – life will become more meaningful as the need to work 40 hours per week could disappear within a few decades for those countries that adapt to these technologies."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Balancing AI Innovation and Regulation</h2>
According to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/19/tech/ai-risks-trump-elon-musk-intl/index.html">CNN article</a>, Elon Musk has consistently voiced concerns that AI could pose an existential threat to humanity, despite his company, xAI, developing a generative AI chatbot. Musk supported a proposed California bill designed to address catastrophic risks of AI systems becoming uncontrollable. However, Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed the bill, citing potential harm to innovation. Musk's worries align with suggestions that AI regulation might feature in future executive orders.
Within Trump's circle, opinions on AI regulation vary. JD Vance, the incoming vice-president, warned that excessive regulation could solidify dominance for established tech giants, stifling new innovators crucial for American growth. Interestingly, Musk's Tesla, a major tech player, is heavily invested in AI. The company highlighted its commitment to AI advancements in its latest earnings report, emphasizing its role in shaping the future of innovation.
Musk's dual stance highlights the tension between advocating for AI safety and fostering AI-driven progress.

Meanwhile, Google's hold on the search market has come under scrutiny. On Thursday, DOJ argued that Google's control of Chrome is a form of antitrust monopoly.
Alphabet's shares fell more than 6% in Thursday morning trading in New York, witnessing its largest drop since January 2024.
This decline erased over $120 billion in market value, pushing Alphabet&#8217;s valuation below the $2 trillion mark.
At the time of writing, Alphabet's market capitalization was at $2.063 trillion, making it the fifth most valuable company in the world now following Nvidia Corp., Apple, Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), and Amazon.com Inc.

Best And Worst Performing States For Cannabis Sales In 2024: YTD Winners & Losers

President-elect Donald Trump picked Pam Bondi, Florida&#8217;s former attorney general, to serve as U.S. attorney general in his second administration after his initial pick, Matt Gaetz, withdrew from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/11/42078192/trumps-attorney-general-pick-matt-gaetz-resigned-from-congress-ethics-committee-to-decide-if-report-will-be-released">consideration amid controversy</a>.
What Happened: Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113523536267976149">announced</a> the nomination Thursday on Truth Social, his social media platform, declaring his intent to reshape the Department of Justice. 
&#8220;For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans &#8211; Not anymore,&#8221; Trump wrote. &#8220;Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime, and Making America Safe Again,&#8221; 
Bondi, who served as Florida&#8217;s top prosecutor from 2011 to 2019, previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/06/32686203/desantis-vs-disney-saga-trump-appointee-replaces-judge-who-recused-himself-after-accusing-g">demonstrated loyalty to Trump</a> by joining his defense team during his first impeachment trial in 2020. During that trial, Trump faced charges of attempting to pressure Ukraine to investigate the Biden family.

Why It Metters: The nomination comes hours after Gaetz, who had been nominated on Nov 13, withdrew his name from consideration. The former congressman&#8217;s nomination faced significant hurdles due to past controversies, including a Justice Department sex-trafficking investigation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42119848/matt-gaetz-withdraws-name-from-ag-nomination-calls-sex-trafficking-controversy-a-distraction">that concluded without charges</a>. 
The House Ethics Committee, which launched its own probe in 2021, reached a deadlock Wednesday on whether to release its investigative report.
Gaetz, who has consistently denied any wrongdoing, had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/11/42078192/trumps-attorney-general-pick-matt-gaetz-resigned-from-congress-ethics-committee-to-decide-if-report-will-be-released">submitted his resignation</a> from Congress the same day as his initial nomination.

Trump Picks Former Florida AG Pam Bondi For Justice Department After Matt Gaetz Withdraws

Green Wednesday,to be celebrated next week on November 27, has become the cannabis industry's answer to Black Friday. This annual shopping event, known for its surge in sales, offers a critical opportunity for retailers to optimize their shelves based on insights into consumer behavior. According to New Frontier Data, understanding cannabis user archetypes can help businesses target key segments effectively and maximize revenue during this peak sales period.
One prominent consumer group, Savvy Connoisseurs, represents 13% of U.S. cannabis users and stands out as the most frequent and high-spending segment. These consumers, 75% of whom are under 45, use cannabis multiple times daily (54%) and purchase weekly (65%). Their typical spending exceeds $50 per visit (71%), making them a prime audience for Green Wednesday promotions. With diverse preferences across smokable and non-smokable products, this group's demand for flowers, edibles, and vapes underscores the importance of offering variety and discounts to drive engagement.

</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Relaxation Drives Recreational Lifestylers</h3>
Contemporary Lifestylers, who make up 16% of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cannabis-marketing">cannabis consumers</a>, are another key segment on Green Wednesday. Consuming primarily to relax and unwind, they are frequent buyers, with over half purchasing weekly. <a href="https://newfrontierdata.com/equio-features/">According to New Frontier</a>, edibles and vape pens are popular among this group, alongside traditional smoking methods. They tend to stick to legal markets, sourcing primarily from dispensaries.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Medical And Dual-Use Consumers Eye Holiday Deals</h3>
Medical Lifestylers and Modern Medicinals use cannabis primarily for health reasons, including pain management and sleep improvement. Together, they account for nearly a quarter of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cannabis-branding">consumers</a>. 
These segments often prefer non-smokable forms like<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/05/32279262/exclusive-are-topicals-an-untapped-market-for-cpg-brands-in-the-cannabis-industry"> tinctures and topicals</a>, with many making weekly purchases.
Green Wednesday promotions can strategically target Savvy Connoisseurs and recreational users with variety and discounts while appealing to medical users through wellness-focused offerings. 
With 37% of U.S. adults using cannabis at least annually, this shopping event continues to expand its reach and impact.

Green Wednesday's Biggest Weed Buyers: The Surprising Archetypes Driving Sales

NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) continues to dominate the artificial intelligence landscape, with CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer and Wall Street analysts reinforcing their bullish outlook following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/42099904/nvidia-beats-q3-revenue-eps-estimates-supply-constraints-ding-stock-huang-says-age-of-ai-is-in-full-steam">the company&#8217;s stellar third-quarter earnings report</a>.
What Happened: &#8220;The demand is accelerating because the payoff is so great,&#8221; Cramer <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/21/demand-for-nvidia-products-isnt-letting-up-jim-cramer-says.html">said</a> on Thursday, citing CEO Jensen Huang&#8216;s assertion that customers earn five dollars for every dollar invested in Nvidia chips. 
This compelling return on investment, Cramer argues, makes Nvidia&#8217;s products essential for major tech companies. &#8220;That means they have no choice but to buy Nvidia's chips,&#8221; he said. 
The sentiment is echoed by Wedbush&#8216;s Dan Ives, who called the results a &#8220;jaw-dropper.&#8221; Ives predicts the Nasdaq could surge to 25,000, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42102642/nvidia-delivered-jaw-dropping-q3-earnings-says-dan-ives-this-is-the-fourth-revolution-playing-out-in-front-of-our-eyes">driven by an extraordinary multiplier effect</a> where &#8220;one dollar spent on GPU chips translates to an $8 to $10 impact across the tech sector.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Nvidia reported third-quarter revenue of $35.1 billion, up 94% year-over-year, with Data Center revenue alone reaching $30.8 billion. The company&#8217;s CFO Colette Kress projects gross margins will temporarily dip to the low 70% range as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42102796/nvidia-projects-gross-margin-recovery-as-blackwell-systems-drive-unprecedented-ai-demand">new Blackwell systems ramp up production</a>.
Rosenblatt analyst Hans Mosesmann maintained a Buy rating while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42121003/nvidia-to-rally-more-than-50-here-are-10-top-analyst-forecasts-for-thursday">raising the price target</a> from $200 to $220. 
This optimism is reflected in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42121665/could-another-magnificent-7-stock-beat-nvidia-in-2025-poll-says-not-likely-27-pick-this-potential-winner">recent Benzinga poll</a>, where 48% of respondents believed Nvidia would continue to dominate the &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221; stocks in 2025, followed by Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) at 27%.
Huang describes this period as &#8220;the beginnings of two fundamental shifts in computing,&#8221; highlighting the transition to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42102796/nvidia-projects-gross-margin-recovery-as-blackwell-systems-drive-unprecedented-ai-demand">machine learning and AI&#8217;s emergence</a> as an industrial capability. The company projects fourth-quarter revenue of $37.5 billion, with Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) already planning AI computing clusters scaling to over 131,000 Blackwell GPUs.
Price Action: Nvidia&#8217;s stock has surged more than 196% year-to-date, significantly outperforming the broader market and its &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221; peers, including Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) at 23.3% and Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) at 11.4%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Jim Cramer Doubles Down On Nvidia: 'Demand Is Accelerating' As AI Customers 'Have No Choice' But To Buy Its Chips

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is reportedly developing a conversational AI-powered Siri to compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT and Alphabet Inc. subsidiary (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google&#8217;s Gemini Live voice assistant.
What Happened: The new version of Siri will leverage large language models to allow back-and-forth interactions with quicker and more advanced responses, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-21/apple-readies-more-conversational-llm-siri-in-bid-to-rival-openai-s-chatgpt">reported</a> Bloomberg, citing people with knowledge of the matter.
Internally called "LLM Siri," the upgraded voice assistant is being tested as a separate app and will eventually replace the current interface on iPhones, iPads, and Macs.

Siri has long <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/32074627/alexa-vs-siri-amazon-and-apples-battle-to-make-worlds-best-personal-assistant-just-got-more-intense">lagged behind rivals</a> like Amazon.com, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Alexa, and Google Assistant in conversational capabilities. Now, Apple intends to close that gap using the power of AI.
The new assistant will be part of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39665558/apples-most-awaited-siri-ai-upgrade-will-not-come-until-2025-report">Apple Intelligence</a> and focus on user privacy while enabling ChatGPT-like features, including text writing and summarization.
Apple also plans to continue offering third-party chatbot integrations like ChatGPT and Gemini alongside LLM Siri.
The overhaul is expected to be announced alongside iOS 19 and macOS 16 in 2025, with a consumer rollout slated for spring 2026, the report noted.

Why It Matters: Last month, Bloomberg columnist Mark Gurman <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2024-10-20/apple-s-latest-ipad-mini-highlights-ai-advantage-sonos-considers-new-headphones-m2hkz4mn?srnd=undefined">reported</a> that Apple research showed that ChatGPT outperformed Siri by at least 25% in accuracy.
The standout feature between the two lies in ChatGPT's conversational design.
"Some at Apple believe that its generative AI technology — at least, so far — is more than two years behind the industry leaders," Gurman stated at the time.
However, the iPhone-maker is gradually catching up. Earlier, Apple CEO Tim Cook had said that the launch of Apple Intelligence was among the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/success-stories/24/10/41441641/apple-ceo-tim-cook-says-apple-intelligence-will-make-products-profoundly-different-new-ai-technol">most significant technology</a> releases in Apple&#8217;s history.
In October, Apple also reported fiscal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41666494/apple-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-installed-base-hits-new-highs-iphone-sales-rise-as-apple-in">fourth-quarter revenue</a> of $94.9 billion, surpassing analysts&#8217; projections of $94.56 billion.
During the earnings call, Cook said that the rapid adoption of iOS 18.1 compared to iOS 17.1 is a definite sign of users' <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41674713/apple-users-hungry-for-ai-tim-cook-says-ios-18-1-has-twice-the-adoption-rate-of-17-1-what-it-means-f">interest in Apple Intelligence</a>.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Apple shares rose 0.018% to $228.56 in after-hours trading, after a 0.21% drop to $228.52 in Thursday&#8217;s regular session, according to<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag"> Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Apple Prepares To Take On OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google Gemini 'Live' With LLM Siri In 2025: Report

Leading cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe predicts several significant market corrections, even as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42125642/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-prepping-for-an-early-thanksgiving-btc-is-currently-less-than-one-eth-away-from-100000-says-trader">trades near record highs at $98,192</a>.
What Happened: &#8220;Bitcoin is going to take liquidity on lower levels,&#8221; van de Poppe warned on X, forecasting &#8220;4-6 flash crashes&#8221; before year-end. These corrections could see Bitcoin drop 5-10% in a single day, while alternative cryptocurrencies might experience even steeper declines of 20-30%.
However, van de Poppe suggests these dramatic drops could present strategic entry points for investors. &#8220;After such a flash crash on Bitcoin, that&#8217;s the moment where Bitcoin consolidates, and altcoins shoot off,&#8221; he explained, describing the market&#8217;s rotation pattern.
Despite Bitcoin&#8217;s approach toward $100,000, market sentiment remains notably subdued compared to previous bull runs, suggesting potential volatility ahead as van de Poppe predicts. &#8220;Timing those flash crashes is hard, but they do happen,&#8221; he cautioned, advising investors to prepare for these market movements.

Why It Matters: The warning comes amid a broader cryptocurrency market surge, with total market capitalization reaching $3.3 trillion. Major institutions continue showing confidence in the sector, exemplified by MicroStrategy Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) recent $3 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/42126020/whats-going-on-with-microstrategy-stock-after-the-bell">convertible note offering to acquire additional Bitcoin</a>.

Bitcoin Analyst Warns Of '4-6 Flash Crashes' Before Year-End As It Inches Closer To $100K: That's The Moment Altcoins 'Shoot Off'

Several US states stand out as having not adopted legal adult-use cannabis or medical marijuana. One of them is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40858225/this-gubernatorial-nominees-cannabis-plan-could-generate-172m-annually-for-island-of-prohibition">Indiana</a>, where a new Republican-backed group is calling on state lawmakers to adopt policies to tax and regulate cannabis for adults 21 and older in the state.
A group called Safe and Regulated Indiana, which seeks to reshape Indiana&#8217;s approach to cannabis by focusing on public health, safety, and economic opportunity, came out on Thursday, <a href="https://indianacapitalchronicle.com/briefs/prominent-republicans-back-safe-and-regulated-marijuana-legalization-group/">reported</a> Indiana Capital Chronicle. 
"By embracing a smart and evidence-based approach that prioritizes public health, safety, and economic opportunity, we can give Hoosiers the access that they deserve and demand," said Joe Elsener, the group's spokesman and former Indiana Republican Party executive director.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Focus On Regulation, Not Legalization</h3>
Safe and Regulated Indiana's messaging avoids the term "legalization," but rather stresses "regulation."
A multimedia ad campaign <a href="https://app.frame.io/presentations/b3d9e5a9-44e4-4719-ac58-1124fcb33db0">already online </a>promotes the idea of taxing and regulating cannabis like alcohol to generate new tax revenue, reduce illegal drug sales and allow &#8220;new tax revenue for law enforcement,&#8221; to focus on violent crimes. It also claims regulation will put illegal dealers out of business.
"Tell your legislator it's time for safe and regulated marijuana," the ad concludes.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Economic And Public Safety Impacts</h3>
Indianapolis City-County Councilor Michael-Paul Hart stated that regulating cannabis like tobacco and alcohol could prevent underage access, create thousands of jobs, and bring "hundreds of millions of dollars of new revenue" to Indiana.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/01/30362663/lawmakers-file-marijuana-bills-in-island-of-prohibition-indiana">Neighboring states </a>like Illinois, Michigan and Ohio have already legalized recreational marijuana, while Kentucky has approved medical cannabis.
However, Indiana's leadership remains resistant. Outgoing Governor Eric Holcomb has long opposed legalization, and Governor-elect Mike Braun recently expressed conditional support for medical cannabis, contingent on law enforcement input. Earlier in 2024, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/indiana-cannabis">Indiana</a> Democrats introduced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/01/36579299/indiana-democrats-propose-bills-to-legalize-medical-and-adult-use-cannabis">bills to legalize</a> medical and adult-use cannabis.

GOP-Led Group Calls For Legal Cannabis In Indiana: 'Tell Your Legislator It's Time'

A decades-long Danish study has found no significant link between cannabis use and increased age-related cognitive decline in men, challenging persistent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40989263/long-term-medical-cannabis-use-has-no-significant-harmful-effects-on-memory-or-impulse-control-n">stereotypes about cannabis consumers.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Key Findings</h3>
Researchers from the University of Copenhagen followed 5,162 men over an average of 44 years, examining cognitive aging from early adulthood to late midlife.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42122260/study-reveals-psychedelic-ritual-cocktail-in-ancient-egyptian-mug">Study Reveals Psychedelic Ritual Cocktail In Ancient Egyptian Mug</a>
Contrary to common assumptions, the study revealed that cannabis users experienced slightly less cognitive decline than non-users. The average cognitive decline across the participants was 6.2 IQ points, with cannabis users showing 1.3 fewer IQ points of decline compared to non-users.
The findings, <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/brb3.70136">published</a> in the journal Brain and Behavior, align with prior studies suggesting cannabis use is not associated with greater cognitive impairment in adulthood. 
However, the researchers caution that further investigations are necessary to determine if these results indicate no adverse long-term effects or if the effects of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40536603/can-thc-turn-back-the-clock-cannabis-reverses-brain-aging-boosts-mental-capacity-new-study-sugge">cannabis use dissipate over time.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Expert Reactions</h3>
"These results contradict one of the more prominent and longstanding stereotypes about cannabis and cannabis consumers,&#8221; said Paul Armentano, deputy director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML).
"It is even more unfortunate that studies refuting these long-held stereotypes seldom receive the type of mainstream attention they deserve."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Context And Broader Implications</h3>
While this study adds to evidence refuting claims of significant cognitive decline in cannabis users, it is essential to note the distinction between adult and adolescent cannabis exposure. 
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warns that heavy cannabis use during adolescence may cause permanent changes to the developing brain, which continues to mature until approximately age 25.
In contrast, a separate recent study found <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/03/31293224/study-asserts-long-term-cannabis-use-leads-to-hippocampal-shrinkage-lower-iq-poor-learning-abil-">no adverse effects</a> on brain structure or cognitive function among adult medical cannabis users after a year of consistent use.

Colorado's cannabis industry is facing a steep decline in sales and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/05/38712820/legal-cannabis-states-raked-in-20b-since-2014-peaking-at-4b-in-2023-new-report-shows">tax revenue</a>, falling to levels below 2018 figures. Tax collections from marijuana sales peaked at $424 million during the 2020-21 fiscal year but plummeted 41% to $248 million in 2023-24.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Hemp THC Sales Bypass Cannabis Regulations</h3>
This downturn, detailed in a recent <a href="https://coloradosun.com/2024/11/21/colorado-marijuana-sales-taxes-intoxicating-hemp/">article</a> in The Colorado Sun, is attributed to increased market competition, falling wholesale cannabis prices, and the rise of so-called intoxicating hemp products. These <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/01/36584043/real-weed-or-a-lab-high-delta-8-and-delta-9-thc-explained">psychoactive hemp-derived products</a>, such as delta-8 THC, mimic the effects of delta-9 THC but are less potent and have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/41775784/hemp-vs-marijuana-industry-tensions-rise-amid-rejection-of-cannabis-legalization-in-florida-the-">gained widespread popularity</a>.
Since the legalization of hemp in 2018 under the federal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42068539/billion-dollar-strike-farm-bill-amendment-could-change-the-hemp-industry">Farm Bill</a>, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/01/30442687/controversial-delta-8-thc-products-garner-2b-in-sales-over-2-years-so-whats-the-problem">$2.2 billion quasi-legal market for hemp-derived THC products</a> has emerged. These products, including THC-infused seltzers, gummies, and brownies, often bypass the regulatory framework governing marijuana sales.

As a result, they are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40561082/delta-8-thc-exposure-is-lower-in-states-where-recreational-marijuana-is-legal-say-researchers-ba">sold in unlicensed venues</a> such as gas stations and farmers markets, competing directly with Colorado's heavily regulated marijuana market.&nbsp;
&#8220;You&#8217;ve put a pretty robust regulatory structure in place around marijuana, and you have this product that is sort of laughing in the face of that structure,&#8221; said Craig Harper, Joint Budget Committee staff director, at a recent budget hearing, according to The Colorado Sun.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Lawmakers Push For Stricter Hemp Rules</h3>
State lawmakers have attempted to curb this competition. In 2023, Colorado restricted intoxicating hemp sales to licensed marijuana retailers.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, state attorneys general, including Colorado's Phil Weiser, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/01/36617725/12-state-attorneys-general-to-dea-reschedule-marijuana-to-defend-public-safety-cannabis-stocks-j">are urging Congress to impose stricter federal limits</a> on hemp-derived THC. However, enforcement challenges persist due to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42068539/billion-dollar-strike-farm-bill-amendment-could-change-the-hemp-industry">legal ambiguities</a>.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cannabis Tax Cuts Impact State Programs</h3>
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40641980/denvers-marijuana-revenue-drops-34-but-cannabis-crime-rates-remain-low">declining cannabis tax revenue</a> has forced the state to cut programs funded by these taxes, including delaying a $20 million payment to a public school construction grant program.&nbsp;
Moreover, the Colorado Sun notes Governor Jared Polis has proposed further reductions in marijuana-funded services for the 2025 legislative session.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Nationwide Trends Highlight Colorado's Struggles</h3>
Colorado is not alone in experiencing declining cannabis sales. Washington and California, both early adopters of legalization, have reported drops in revenue.

Colorado's Marijuana Sales, Tax Revenue Slump Amid Hemp Competition

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41552860/boeing-plans-to-sell-off-major-assets-as-the-company-scrambles-to-remain-profitable-and-stay-competi">Boeing </a>has initiated layoffs that will impact 2,199 workers in Washington state. The move is part of broader plans to downsize its workforce by about 17,000 amid persistent financial and operational struggles.&nbsp;
According to a notice filed with Washington's Employment Security Department, the aerospace company will continue implementing job cuts nationwide, raising concerns about its trajectory in a highly competitive industry.

</ul>
The reductions are part of a strategy announced in October when Boeing revealed plans to reduce its workforce by 10%. The layoffs affect multiple divisions – commercial airplanes, defense and global services – and span facilities in several states, including Missouri, Arizona, South Carolina and its base in Arlington, Virginia.&nbsp;
According to The Seattle Times, these cuts mark one of the largest workforce adjustments Boeing has made in recent years. Before the layoffs, Boeing employed around 66,000 workers in Washington.&nbsp;
Over 400 Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA) members received notices last week, although these employees will remain on payroll until mid-January.&nbsp;

The Machinists' union also confirmed that many unionized workers recently returned to assembly lines following a nearly two-month strike. In an October call with analysts, Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg said that the Machinists&#8217; strike wasn't the primary factor driving <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41493900/meta-ceo-zuckerberg-dismisses-workers-making-over-six-figures-for-taking-advantage-of-company-food-d">layoffs</a> but was instead tied to overstaffing.
He highlighted challenges in scaling production, particularly for the 737 MAX, under Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) restrictions limiting production to 38 planes per month – a target Boeing has yet to achieve consistently.
According to the FAA, the company's compliance issues contributed to delays in ramping up production. A recent incident involving a detached door plug in flight on an Alaska Airlines plane further eroded confidence in Boeing's safety standards.
Financially, Boeing continues to face turbulence. The company reported a $6.1 billion loss for the third quarter of 2024, citing slower production rates and supply chain disruptions. According to Travel And Tour World, demand for new aircraft remains 15% below pre-pandemic levels, compounding recovery challenges.

Still, some experts see the layoffs as a calculated step. In an interview on KIRO 7, Scott Hamilton said, "Boeing is bloated and needs to lose some weight – and these cuts will be tough but necessary."
However, critics argue that Boeing's aggressive downsizing will do more harm than good. Ray Goforth, the Executive Director of the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA), said in a statement: "Rather than resolve the IAM strike and focus the company's resources on rebuilding the trust of regulators and customers, Boeing leadership has decided to harm every aspect of the company."

However, the Trump administration is leaning toward cutting red tape and pushing deregulation, which could <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/greatspeculations/2024/11/10/trumps-surprise-boost-to-nvidia-ai-stocks/">ease compliance-related issues and speed up innovation</a> for technology companies. Trump also vowed to repeal Biden's executive order on AI security and safety.
According to <a href="https://www.statista.com/outlook/tmo/artificial-intelligence/worldwide">Statista</a>, the global AI market is anticipated to reach $826.7 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 28.5%. The United States is projected to have the largest market in AI at $50.16 billion in 2024.
It is commonly believed that AI is here to replace jobs, as it can assist in problem-solving, complex strategy development, and critical thinking. Despite this belief, studies show that AI will <a href="https://edisonandblack.com/pages/over-97-million-jobs-set-to-be-created-by-ai.html">create 97 million new jobs</a> by 2025.
