This is John Batchel, conversation with my colleague Elizabeth Peake about AI and the marketplace.

The AI stocks are the spectacular rise of the year, but what is to be done about the bubble talk?

At the same time, when an AI company doing very well disappoints in any direction.

There are harsh consequences.

Here Liz explains AI is the story, but how so and how do individuals approach it when they're

looking for jobs or sustaining the jobs they have?

Much more of this tonight.

It's one of these sort of ancillary businesses

attached to AI development that have been booming. Everybody needs a data center, but then all

of a sudden one thing goes wrong and the stock gets absolutely hammered. So I just think,

I think it's value, it's about valuation. It's not about the story.

The story is intact for sure. Everybody and his uncle wants to adopt AI. I know you use it.

An awful lot of people are using it. Businesses, I've, I've been told by a very top headhunter who recruits nobody but CEO and C-suite level people

that if you don't know how to use AI and you're not conversant with it, you're just not in the

mix. You're not going to be hired. And I'm sure that that's true because this is beginning to

dominate every conversation, certainly about productivity, efficiency, hiring, et cetera.

It is the story.
