AI News This Week:
Nvidia’s Historic Loss & OpenAI’s Bold Bet
🔹 Nvidia’s Stock Crash – Nvidia lost nearly $589 billion in market value, marking the biggest single-day loss in U.S. history. The drop was triggered by fears that cheaper AI models, like China’s DeepSeek, could reduce demand for Nvidia’s high-end chips.
🔹 DeepSeek’s Disruption – The Chinese AI startup launched an advanced AI model at a fraction of typical costs, sparking concerns about AI infrastructure competition. There are some doubts about how accurate the claims are about how cheaply they did train this model.
🔹 OpenAI’s $500B 'Stargate' Project – OpenAI announced plans for a massive AI infrastructure expansion, including new data centers and power plants. The ambitious $500B project has drawn skepticism over its feasibility and funding, even as Microsoft backs it.
🔹 What’s Next? – U.S. AI firms may need to pivot strategies to stay ahead of cost-efficient competitors.

2️⃣ Future of Jobs report 2025
(World Economic Forum)
Here’s what recruiters need to know about how AI is reshaping the future of jobs, according to the latest WEF report.
AI Skills Are the Fastest Growing
Demand for AI specialists, including machine learning engineers and AI ethics professionals, is skyrocketing.
Interesting stat: 75% of companies plan to adopt AI by 2027, but only 50% feel prepared to upskill their workforce.
AI Is Creating Jobs—Not Just Automating Them
For every job AI disrupts, it creates 1.7 new roles in areas like AI training and ethical oversight.
Upskilling Is Critical
"The half-life of skills has shortened to just 5 years." Organisations must reskill employees at scale to stay competitive.
Geographical Imbalance in AI Talent
Advanced economies lead in AI adoption, but emerging markets are struggling to catch up. Global hiring and remote roles are bridging gaps.

3️⃣ Bay Area dominates AI / ML hiring
(Live Data Technologies)
📍 The Bay Area remains the AI hiring capital, leading both in total hires and population-adjusted hiring. It boasts nearly 3x more AI/ML hires per 100K residents than second-place Seattle—no surprise given its dominance in Big Tech and AI startups.
📈 Seattle, Denver, and Boston rank high when adjusting for population, showing strong AI/ML hiring momentum beyond Silicon Valley.
📉 NYC lags in per capita AI hiring, though it remains a major hub, with Big Tech, banks, and FinTech aggressively hiring AI talent.
