Apple throws hat in AI race, reportedly developing chips
Apple (AAPL) shares are trading higher after the tech giant is reportedly joining the artificial intelligence chip race. Yahoo Finance's Madison Mills reports more on the story and why this could be good news for investors. Mills points out the changing landscape Apple faces as iPhone sales continue to slump. "Apple can't rely on the iPhone that much longer," she explains, adding that chip development gives investors a more hopeful outlook on the tech giant's future. Competitors like Meta (META) and Microsoft (MSFT) already use their own chips to fuel artificial intelligence initiatives in their data centers. While Apple may be viewed as late to the game on this front, Mills stresses that its new chip development could bolster the company as a serious competitor to major chip makers like Nvidia (NVDA).

How Pinterest ad revenue is 'accelerating': CEO
Pinterest (PINS) has boosted its advertising efforts with deals from tech giants like Amazon (AMZN) and Google (GOOG, GOOGL). The company has also utilized AI to improve personalized recommendations for its users. Yahoo Finance's Brian Sozzi and Akiko Fujita are joined by Pinterest CEO Bill Ready at the Milken Global Institute Conference to discuss the impact of new deals from tech giants. On the success of the deals with his company, Ready states that some of the increase ad revenue comes from: "It's really because of the actionability of the platform. That's through a combination of efforts. A lot of it is retailers coming to us directly, but then we've also, as you noted, augmented that first-party demand on our platform with third-party demand coming from Amazon...Google we added more recently... And so that is helping to bring more shoppable, actionable inventory on to the platform, but it really is a composite effect. What I would say, if you step back from it all, Pinterest is firing on all cylinders."
