STORY: From a long-feared wobble for AI shares, to why your digital assistant might sound strangely like Awkwafina, this is AI Weekly.

After months of gains, tech stocks finally saw a downturn, briefly at least.

Shares in Nvidia slid 6% on Monday, with other AI heavyweights like Amazon also falling.

The stocks rallied a day later, but investors remain concerned by hints from Microsoft and others that any payoff from AI remains a way off.

Striking video game performers say AI is taking their jobs.

Motion capture actor Jasiri Booker was among those picketing outside Warner Bros as part of the stoppage:

"Basically, these companies have the ability, when we work for them, to keep a library of our performances - in our case, our movement, our action, our acrobatics. And they're able to give it to a machine to then study that --basically become us and spit out new performances without us, without our knowledge. And that is scary. And that is something that could absolutely kill our industry."

Nvidia’s latest AI chips could be held back by design flaws, potentially hitting big customers like Google.

That’s according to tech publication The Information, which says the processors could be delayed three months or more.

In a separate report, it says the firm also faces a U.S. antitrust probe over its dominance of AI chips.

Meta is in talks with actors like Awkwafina and Judi Dench to use their voices for its digital assistant.

That’s according to the New York Times.

It says the Facebook parent firm was also talking to influencers, and could pay millions for the voice rights.

And Reuters sources say Samsung’s latest chips have been cleared for use in Nvidia processors.

That gives the South Korean giant a boost in its bid to catch local rival SK Hynix in the market for cutting-edge AI chips.
