And I've got some news for her.

She might want to root for artificial intelligence at least a little.

So I brought some documents that I actually had a chatbot help me put together.

Oh, yes.

Just to show how much you're in this for.

She's vested in California's public employee pension, which is heavily exposed to AI, from index funds to individual stocks to infrastructure funds and real estate trusts tied to data centers.

Does it concern you that your personal future is invested in the success of this whole thing?

I mean, it's just really distressing.

Now I'm part of another system that I haven't had any input into.

And it's going to possibly drastically affect people's lives.

Whether the AI industry keeps booming or not.

I'm Megan McCarty Carino for Marketplace.

Coming up... The evolution of data transfer is pretty remarkable.

Also gets pretty loud and pretty hot.

But first, let's do the numbers.

Dow Industrials up 313 today, two-thirds of 1%, 49,412.

The NASDAQ added 100 points, about four-tenths percent, 23,601.

The S&P 500 gained 34 points, about a half percent, 69,050.

Some of the big AI players out there.

NVIDIA dropped six-tenths percent.
