Nvidia investigates its own CEO

On November 8, Nvidia’s board started an independent investigation after news reports said CEO Jensen Huang had been targeted by a foreign intelligence effort.
According to those reports, US intelligence believes a businesswoman he had a relationship with was a Chinese spy. In a message to staff, Huang admitted he had been unfaithful to his wife and apologised.
Why it matters: Nvidia makes the chips that power much of today’s AI. Questions about its leader, and about chip sales to China, affect the whole industry.
Nvidia’s board says it has no reason to believe national security or company secrets were compromised. Huang remains CEO and is cooperating with the review.
What happened next? Nvidia’s share price fell about 5% on Monday. The board says it will share updates when it can.
02 · IN YOUR MESSAGES
You can now text Alexa to do your shopping

On November 6, Amazon started letting some customers text Alexa for Shopping, its AI shopping helper, the same way they would text a friend.
You can ask it to reorder something, add items to a grocery list, compare products, tell you when a price drops or check where a package is. It can also place the order for you.
A request you start by text can carry on in the Amazon app, on the website or on Alexa devices.
Why it matters: shopping help is moving out of apps and into everyday messages, just in time for the holiday season.
Can you use it today? Only if you are invited, and only in the US for now. Amazon says millions more customers will get access in the coming weeks.
03 · IN YOUR APPS
Meta’s Muse builds mini apps from a simple description

On November 6, Meta added spaces to Muse, its personal AI assistant app. You describe what you want, and Muse builds it for you.
Examples include a gift tracker, a trip planner, a game or a board for a small business. You can keep improving it by asking Muse, or edit it yourself.
Good to know: Muse is only available in a few countries so far, such as the US. Spaces can also connect to your other apps and update in the background, so only connect what you are comfortable sharing.
Why it matters: you no longer need to code, or even find the right app, to get a simple tool that fits your life.

Give your AI shopper a spending rule
AI helpers can now buy things for you. A clear rule up front keeps surprises off your bank statement.
Try this before your next task:
Before you buy anything for me, show me the item, the total price and the delivery date, and wait for my OK. Never spend more than [amount] without asking.
Also ask it to show cheaper options and to tell you if an offer comes from a seller you have not used before.
You keep the convenience and stay in control of your money.
Would you let AI place orders for you?
