Introduction:
In today’s episode, we dive into the dark and complex world of cybersecurity as we hear from the first FBI Most Wanted hacker to share insider insights on ransomware gangs and their surprising ties to Russian intelligence. We examine how hacking has evolved into an industrialized franchise, posing new challenges for global cybersecurity and law enforcement. Next, we explore India’s booming data center industry facing a critical water shortage crisis that threatens the global AI expansion led by tech giants like Google and Meta. Then, we break down the escalating US-China rivalry in Africa, where a $7.8 billion surge in US investment overtakes China’s presence, targeting crucial minerals for AI and semiconductor technologies and reshaping the global supply chain. We also highlight how Japanese capital is flooding into European deep tech and AI startups, bypassing Silicon Valley to foster a new strategic alliance focused on industrial scale innovation. Finally, we discuss why State Street remains bullish on AI momentum stocks despite market volatility and the Nasdaq’s recent downturn, and what this means for investors preparing for 2025.
