Artificial intelligence has established deep roots within human society in a very short space of time. The latest manifestation of this is the latest advertisement by Coca-Cola, one of the most popular drink brands in the world, which was made entirely using AI features. However, these advertisements have not been well-received on social media. Per a report by news platform Forbes, the AI-generated Christmas ads have sparked mockery and caution from social media users. The ads were created by Secret Level, Silverside AI and Wild Card, who used AI models Leonardo, Luma, Runway, and Kling, for creative inspiration.

Meanwhile, finance news publication Financial Times reports that China’s biggest tech groups are building artificial intelligence teams in Silicon Valley. Per the report, the Chinese are hoping to poach staff from US rivals who could help them make up ground in the race to profit from generative AI. FT claims that Alibaba, ByteDance and Meituan are three Chinese firms that have been expanding their offices in California in recent months. This is part of a larger push that comes despite Washington’s efforts to slow down their work by restricting exports of the highest-end AI chips to the Asian country.

ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:ASML) makes and sells advanced semiconductor equipment systems. On November 12, investment advisory Bernstein named ASML among a basket of equities that face another possible wave of China export restrictions from US lawmakers. Per the advisory, wafer fabrication equipment exports to China appear in the sights of officials. Lawmakers in the US had earlier sent a letter to ASML, pressing for information regarding sales to China. The letter warned that the PRC now purchases more semiconductor manufacturing equipment than the United States, South Korea, and Taiwan combined.
Overall, ASML ranks 7th on our list of trending AI stocks on latest news.
