AI in Healthcare. The Robotaxi Race. TikTok Deal

Trump's team worked out a deal where American investors get to own most of TikTok.

The US gets 80%, China’s ByteDance can only own 20%. No ban, but everything changes.

This move shows how government rules can completely reshape who owns what.

Starting in January, Medicare is testing AI to help decide if treatments get approved. It's like having a robot assistant help your insurance company say yes or no to your medical care.

The AI companies get paid extra money when they reject claims.

This affects Medicare Advantage plans first, but private insurance already uses similar AI systems.

If you're on Medicare or thinking about retirement planning, this could change how quickly you get medical approvals.

Tesla just started testing robotaxi in Phoenix, but they're playing catch-up. Think of it like the smartphone wars. Apple wasn't first, but they still won big.

Waymo (Google's company) is already giving 250,000 robotaxi rides every week. 

Tesla is testing in Arizona because that's where Waymo proved it works. The winner isn't clear yet, but Waymo has a big head start.

Amazon’s Zoox asks federal regulators for exemption to launch a commercial robotaxi service.

Intel, which used to make chips for Apple, is now asking Apple to invest in their business.

Intel's stock jumped just on rumors of this meeting. That shows how desperate investors think Intel has become.

Apple ditched Intel chips in 2020 to make their own, so this partnership would be awkward but maybe profitable. 

The US government already owns 10% of Intel through subsidies, making this a complex three-way relationship.

Auterion raised $130M to become the "Microsoft of military drones." It's like the Windows operating system, but for drones instead of computers.

Defense investors are pouring money into drone companies as global tensions rise.

This affects both defense and the broader tech sectors. Autonomous systems are getting massive funding right now.
