AI Is Teaching Robots to Run, But One Tiny Screw Could Slow Them Down

1 day ago | banyanhill.com | Ian King

I have a confession to make…I like playing video games. Of course, with a busy schedule and two young daughters, I haven’t had the time to play them in years. But if you’ve ever played one, you understand how powerful a simulated world can be. The physics in video games often mimics the physics of our own world. You press a button, your character jumps and it’s pulled back down by gravity.
Will Trump’s “Golden Dome” Ignite a New Space Race?

3 days ago | banyanhill.com | Ian King

Last week, new information leaked about something Trump spent a lot of time talking about during his campaign…A massive space project that could change the future of defense. Establishing this “Golden Dome” became one of Trump’s first official acts after he returned to the White House. And it seems to be a big priority for the administration. Today, we’re going to take a closer look at this project because there’s a lot here to unpack. And if things play out like I believe they will….
The Line Between Smart AI and AGI Just Got Blurry

6 days ago | banyanhill.com | Ian King

In early 2024, at our Total Wealth Symposium at the Ritz Carlton in Orlando, I gave a talk on the roadmap for AI over the next few years. I predicted that before we reach artificial general intelligence (AGI) and then artificial superintelligence (ASI), we’ll ascend through levels of artificial capable intelligence. This is when AI begins solving complex problems that require many steps, and it will eventually lead to a superintelligence that can improve itself better than a human could.
How China Could Quietly Upend the AI Race

1 week ago | banyanhill.com | Ian King

I’ve been pounding the table about how important the US-China trade war is to the future of AI. Nothing is more important than America winning the AI race. Yet the escalating trade war puts our lead at risk. After President Trump placed tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese goods, China retaliated with 125% tariffs on U.S. products.
A Wild Week Hints at What Comes Next

“There are decades when nothing happens, and there are weeks when decades happen…”An observation that perfectly sums up a whirlwind of a week. Since President Trump announced sweeping new tariffs on April 2, America has redefined its relationship with the rest of the world. And everyone is trying to figure out what’s going to happen next.
Is A Massive AI Melt-Up Coming?

Since President Trump announced a new round of tariffs last Wednesday, the stock market has been on a wild ride. On Friday, the S&P 500 posted one of its worst two-day drops ever. It ended the stretch down 10.5%. Then yesterday saw one of the wildest swings in stock market history. And despite today’s apparent rally…U.S. investors are feeling nearly as pessimistic as they did during the lows of the Biden presidency. It’s easy to see why.
Is Apple the Next Nokia?

Dear Reader,The other day, I accidentally spilled some water on my iPhone. So I asked Siri if my iPhone was waterproof. This was Siri’s response:Not the answer I was looking for. I could have just looked up that information myself. Later, I asked Siri: “What was the price of Tesla’s stock when it IPO’d?”This was Siri’s response:Again, not the answer I was looking for. And I’m sure some people would argue that this is my fault.
Google Just Shot Past China in the AI Race

Another week, another head spinning amount of AI news. On Tuesday, Microsoft introduced two new AI agents for Microsoft 365 users called Researcher and Analyst. As their names suggest, these smart assistants use OpenAI’s technology to handle deeper research and data analysis. For context, Microsoft Office has more than 1.5 billion users worldwide. This kind of reach shows you how rapidly AI-powered automation can spread today.
Is China’s BYD Coming for Tesla?

3 weeks ago | banyanhill.com | Ian King

I would never drive a Cybertruck. Not because of Elon’s politics. Not because of the sticker price. Not because of all the recalls or the chance I’d get flipped off pulling into the local Whole Foods parking lot either. Truth be told, I don’t like standing out in a crowd. I live a low key life. There’s also the neurotic risk manager in me that fears I might inadvertently cut someone off and they would remember the a-hole in the Cybertruck sometime down the road.
Could Robotaxis Save Elon’s Tesla?

3 weeks ago | banyanhill.com | Ian King

Tesla (Nasdaq: TSLA) investors have been on a rollercoaster ride in recent months. Since the stock gained around 90% after Trump’s election, Tesla shares have swung wildly due to declining sales, rising competition and CEO Elon Musk’s political controversies. But despite the turmoil of the past few months, I believe Musk has an ace up his sleeve that could turn the company’s fortunes around practically overnight…Tesla’s long-promised robotaxi business.
