- Meta has agreed to pay up to $17 billion and make sweeping changes to Instagram and Facebook as part of a landmark child safety settlement with nearly every U.S. state.

But implementing those safeguards, particularly determining users’ ages, presents major technical and business challenges. CNBC’s Julia Boorstin examines how Meta plans to pull it off, and why the settlement could ultimately force changes across TikTok, YouTube and the rest of the social media industry.

- AI's Control Problem: Agents, Costs And Robots
- Runtime
- 47:00
- Date posted
- 1 month ago
- Description
- AI is moving from answering questions to taking action, and the bills are arriving faster than anyone budgeted for. An agent that spins up thousands of other agents can turn a $20 task into a $50,000 one, and companies are starting to scale into bankruptcy. The fight now isn't over how smart these systems are. It's over who controls what they do and what they cost.
Deirdre Bosa talks with three executives at the center of that shift:
» Jeetu Patel, President and Chief Product Officer at Cisco, on rogue agents, guardrails and why autonomous systems need a kill switch.
» Lin Qiao, co-founder and CEO of Fireworks AI, on inference economics and whether efficiency can keep AI businesses solvent.
» Evan Beard, co-founder and CEO of Standard Bots, on the U.S.-China robot gap — 300,000 deployed to our 30,000 — and what it costs to lose the next platform.

- America Needs An Open-Source AI Strategy
- Runtime

- Description
- America has a chip strategy for AI. It doesn't have an open-source one.
Washington spent billions protecting the hardware layer — the CHIPS Act, a stake in Intel, export controls on Nvidia. But the models the world actually builds on are increasingly coming out of China: DeepSeek, Z.ai's GLM, Moonshot's Kimi. Open weights can be downloaded, customized and run on your own servers, and are often cheaper.
Now the pressure is coming from inside American tech. Jensen Huang used his first post on X to publish an open letter urging Washington to treat open-weight AI as a strategic asset — co-signed by some of the biggest AI players, with Anthropic the major holdout.
Meanwhile enterprises are asking a harder question: who owns what the AI learns about your business? Deirdre Bosa tackles the layer of the AI stack Washington isn't funding.

- Why Audi Is Pushing Three New SUVs
- Runtime

- Date posted

- Description
- Audi sales have struggled over the last several quarters in the US. The brand is challenged by tariffs, a shift away from EVs and vehicles that are neither selling well nor garnering the critical approval for which Audi had been known in the past. Competitors BMW and Mercedes-Benz are performing better overall. The brand has unveiled three new SUVs in the US this year. The three row, full-size SUV is the third SUV it has unveiled in 2026. This product offensive will give Audi the “youngest” SUV lineup in the US premium market, the company said. Analysts say this new lineup, along with other updates to other vehicles, can give the brand a boost. But some of Audi’s challenges are structural.

- Kohl’s was once a retail darling, carving out market share as a department store catering to the middle-income American consumer with coupons and deals that drove loyalty.
But over the past five years, Kohl’s stock has lost nearly 70% of its value, plummeting as the retailer reported weak sales.
As department stores struggle to stay relevant and middle-income consumers face budget pressure, Kohl’s is now trying to reinvigorate sales by leaning back into its core value proposition and investing in the store experience to ensure customers find what they need and keep coming back for more.

- AMD is one of the best performing chip stocks of 2026, following a decade-long comeback in data center chips. Now, it’s making its biggest competitive move against Nvidia yet. AMD’s first rack-scale system for AI, Helios, is shipping later this year - and it’s the world’s first competitor to Nvidia’s Grace Blackwell and Vera Rubin systems. Now, Microsoft has signed up to use Helios in its data centers, joining other customers Meta, OpenAI and Oracle. But with a price tag of at least $5 million, analysts estimate Helios will cost at least $1 million more than Nvidia Vera Rubin. CNBC got an exclusive first look inside the 7,000 pound behemoth, and sat down with AMD data center and AI leads to ask how its first-generation AI system can compete with Nvidia - and what sets it apart.
