The world of artificial intelligence (AI) is changing. This is because of important decisions about advanced computer chips. Investors are also looking more closely at how AI makes money. AI has helped markets grow before. Now, people are thinking again about how quickly AI can make steady profits. This change is not just about money. It is also changing jobs in new ways.
This week, there is news about advanced H200 AI chips. These chips can be sent to some Chinese companies. Experts think this will affect how AI grows around the world. Nigel Green, a CEO, said this is important for many investors. It could make AI competition stronger. Chinese companies have worked hard to make good AI. They often used smart methods when they did not have the best chips. Better chips could help them grow faster and cost less.
Investors are now more careful about AI's money benefits. The excitement that helped stocks go up is less now. People want to see proof that big AI investments are making good profits. Some big tech companies have not made much money from AI. This is expected to change how people invest in 2026. They will look at if AI projects really make money.
Interestingly, a study from Vanguard shows something different about jobs. It looked at jobs that AI might take. These jobs are actually growing faster. Employment in these jobs went up by 1.7% between 2023 and 2025. This is more than before the pandemic. Pay in these jobs also grew much faster.
An economist named Adam Sickling said there is no proof that AI jobs are decreasing. This is surprising. AI can still make mistakes. It is not yet good enough to replace all people. Humans are still needed to check AI and fix errors. This means jobs needing these skills are in demand. However, the future is not certain. AI could change jobs more later. The next few weeks will be important for AI's story.
