The Most Dangerous Side of AI That Nobody Is Talking About

A man walked on a stage in Taipei. A company got fifty-six billion dollars richer before he sat down. Here is what actually changed, and why the machines made it worse.

On June 2, Jensen Huang stood on a stage in Taipei next to the chief executive of Marvell. He gestured at the man beside him and called the company the next trillion-dollar company. That was the whole event. A few words, spoken out loud, in front of a crowd.

By the close, Marvell had gained almost a third of its value in a single day. The stock finished at 290 dollars and change. It was the biggest one-day move in the company’s history. The market value swelled by roughly fifty-six billion dollars in an afternoon. That is more than many famous companies are worth in total, conjured out of one sentence from one man.
