Investors are weighing the upside of AI-fueled growth against potential downsides as cheaper AI tools threaten traditional industries, leading to sharp stock swings in sectors exposed to automation risks. Meta Platforms agreed to a long-term partnership for millions of Nvidia AI chips and infrastructure components for its data centers, underscoring Meta’s scale in deploying artificial intelligence and reinforcing Nvidia’s position as a key supplier. Asian share benchmarks rose sharply following a Wall Street rally driven by Nvidia’s 1.6% stock gain, which helped push the S&P 500 up 0.6%. Markets in Tokyo, South Korea and Australia added 0.8%, 2.8% and 0.9% respectively.
