11 AI News and Ratings You Should Take a Look At

In this article, we discuss 11 AI news and ratings you should take a look at.

KKR Global Head of Digital Infrastructure Waldemar Szlezak recently joined ‘Bloomberg Surveillance’ to discuss AI’s increasing energy demands and he sees AI as a lasting technological shift, comparable to electrification or the internet, rather than a “fad”. While short-term fluctuations may occur, he believes the overall trajectory remains strong. He also discussed how his firm is positioning itself to capitalize on this trend through data centers and power investments. While Nvidia’s latest earnings highlight AI’s momentum, Szlezak’s firm’s approach remains focused on infrastructure, especially in data centers and power generation.

Szlezak explained that his firm is shifting its data center strategy by emphasizing inference-based facilities near major population centers rather than large-scale training data centers. The firm currently owns five data center platforms across the U.S., Europe, and Asia, with a recent expansion into the Middle East. Additionally, it is heavily investing in energy infrastructure, recognizing that AI’s rapid expansion will significantly increase electricity demand. He pointed to the firm’s $3 billion investment in a transmission network across multiple states as an example of how the firm is supporting power distribution.

The Future of AI Requires Major Energy and Data Center Upgrades

Waldemar Szlezak projected that global data center capacity could grow from 50 gigawatts to as much as 300 gigawatts, with a shift toward production inference workloads over training. Szlezak also highlighted AI-driven energy consumption trends, predicting that U.S. power demand could double, requiring trillions of dollars in infrastructure investments. While he acknowledged the risk of market speculation, he believes that securing enough energy supply and transmission capacity is the most significant challenge. His firm remains cautious about entering new data center ventures at elevated valuations but sees private capital playing an important role in building the infrastructure needed to support AI-driven industrial growth.

The $250 Trillion AI Hype is Real. A few years from now, you’ll probably wish you’d bought this stock.

When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard.

Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences.

At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000.

Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040.

Put another way, that’s roughly equal to:

  • 175 Teslas
  • 107 Amazons
  • 140 Metas
  • 84 Googles
  • 65 Microsofts
  • And 55 Nvidias

And here’s the wild part — this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy.

It’s a leap so massive, it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide.

Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential.

How could anything be worth that much?

The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates.

And this breakthrough has already set off a frenzy among hedge funds and Wall Street’s top investors.

What most investors don’t realize is that one under-owned company holds the key to this $250 trillion revolution.

In fact, Verge argues this company’s supercheap AI technology should concern rivals.

Before I reveal the details, let’s talk about how some of the richest people on the planet are positioning themselves.

  • Bill Gates sees artificial intelligence as the “biggest technological advance in my lifetime,” more transformative than the internet or personal computer, capable of improving healthcare, education, and addressing climate change.
  • Larry Ellison — through Oracle, is spending billions on Nvidia chips and partnering with Cohere to embed generative AI across Oracle’s cloud and apps.
  • Warren Buffett — not known for tech hype — says this breakthrough could have a ‘hugely beneficial social impact.

When billionaires from Silicon Valley to Wall Street line up behind the same idea — you know it’s worth paying attention to.

Even as we admire what Tesla, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft have built, we believe an even greater opportunity lies elsewhere…

But the real story isn’t Nvidia — it’s a much smaller company quietly improving the critical technology that makes this entire revolution possible.

And judging by what I’m hearing from both Silicon Valley insiders and Wall Street veterans…

This prediction might not be bold at all:

A few years from now, you’ll wish you’d owned this stock.

The best part? You can discover everything about this company and its groundbreaking technology right now.

I’ve compiled everything you need to know about this groundbreaking company in a detailed, members-only report.

My name is Inan Dogan. I’m the co-founder and Research Director of Insider Monkey. I have an important message for you today.

Since March 2017, my stock picks have returned 16.5% annually. Today, I’ve found an opportunity even bigger than my British American Tobacco call.

Two years ago, Wall Street wrote off British American Tobacco (BTI) as a “melting ice cube.” The stock had crashed 40% from its peak, and consensus said the business was dying.

We looked under the cover and realized they were wrong.

We alerted our subscribers, and BTI returned 90% in just 16 months.

Now if you had invested just $10,000 in BTI in June 2024, you’d be sitting on $19,000 in October 2025.

Today, we have identified a nearly identical pattern in a digital-first giant trading at $3.

While the market panics over a surface-level revenue decline, our PhD-led research shows management has actually surgically cut $100 million in waste to focus on high-margin growth.

This pattern is a hallmark of our 16.5% annual return track record. The current opportunity offers a 400% upside potential—dwarfing even our 90% BTI return.

Get the ticker for our new “Underdog” pick and the full BTI case study for just 99 cents.
