We recently published a list of Top 10 Trending AI News And Stock Ratings. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ:KSCP) stands against other top trending AI news and stock ratings.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman continues to forge alliances in Asia, visiting India on February 5th to meet industry leaders and prominent founders and discuss the company’s plans for the Indian market.
Yesterday, Sam Altman was in South Korea to sign a deal with tech giant Kakao to integrate ChatGPT features into Kakao’s diverse services. OpenAI’s investments and partnerships, backed by the Stargate program, could indicate the US AI industry is racing to capture emerging markets amid the growing popularity of cheap and effective Chinese AI models like DeepSeek R1 and Alibaba’s Qwen 2.5. Altman reportedly admitted in South Korea that OpenAI “hasn’t found a strategy yet” to respond to DeepSeek.
“India is an incredible market for AI in general, for us too. It’s our second biggest market after the US. Users here have tripled in the last year. The innovation that’s happening, what people are building [in India], it’s really incredible,” Altman said. “We’re excited to do much, much more here, and I think it’s (the Indian AI program) a great plan. And India will build great models.”
Meanwhile, US stock futures retreated after Alphabet’s Q4 cloud revenue missed estimates and AMD’s disappointing data center sales forecast heightened concerns about a slump in AI momentum despite hefty R&D spending. Overall, investors remained alert for new developments in the ongoing US-China trade war.
