Welcome to Closing Bell. I'm Scott Wopner live today from one market in San Francisco.

This special hour begins with the mania around AI, the risks, rewards, and runaway success of the stock set to benefit from this transformational technology.

We have several special guests joining us today.

Brad Gerstner, he's the founder, he's the chairman and CEO of Altimeter Capital,

and he is with me for the hour today. In just a little bit we'll have a rare interview with AI pioneer

Mustafa Suleiman the co-founder of Deep Mind a company sold to Google back in 2014 is Alphabet losing out in the AI Arms Race?

We will ask him.

Niva's co-founder, Shritar Ramaswani, is here too.

He ran Google Search for 15 years. He just sold Niva to Snowflake. Who else was interested in that?

Oh, we're going to ask him that as well. Find out where all of this is heading as well.

Let's check the markets with 60

minutes to go in regulation you see here. Dow's a marginal loser today.

Been read slightly for most of the day. Nasdaq, what else is new? It's been

positive for most of the day. Tech names like alphabet and

Meta hitting new highs today and there is the Russell the winner today for

sure. Brings us to our talk of the tape. AI, the power and pitfalls of this new frontier and what investors need to know.

For that we welcome in Brad Gerstner.

It's good to be back with you here where it all started.

I think the first time we had an interview in person was out here and now we are covering what is this this new frontier when you were with me last.

You said quote, we have one of the most significant technology disruptions of our lifetime probably

bigger than the internet itself. Walter Isakson alluding to the same thing in an

interview I did with him a short time ago. This is everything.
