Anna Bicker, Dr. Volker Zota, and Malte Kirchner discuss the following topics, among others, in this episode of #heiseshow:
- Don't make an affair out of it: Will Jensen Huang become a problem for Nvidia? Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has admitted to an affair. The board is now investigating whether he was the target of a foreign intelligence operation. The woman is alleged to have worked for Megaspeed, a major Nvidia customer in Singapore. How credible are the allegations, and what does the case reveal about Nvidia's export controls? How great is the risk to the company and its stock if Huang also has to convince Congress? And how dependent is Nvidia on its founder?
- Election hangover on Wall Street: Will the US election results burst the AI bubble? After the Democrats' victory in the US midterm elections, tech and semiconductor stocks have plunged worldwide. Investors fear greater regulation and opposition to new AI data centers. Was this merely a correction or the beginning of the end of the AI boom? How significantly do protests against data centers slow AI growth? And what does the stock market plunge mean for the European market?
- Hydrogen, march! What comes after Europe's largest turbine? RWE and Kawasaki have put a 34-megawatt hydrogen turbine into operation in Lingen. It can run on natural gas, hydrogen, or both.What can the power plant achieve in test operation? How realistic is green hydrogen for electricity generation while electrolyzers are still being ramped up? And what role do such power plants play in the energy transition?
