Tech stocks entered November on shaky ground as the AI sell-off continued to pressure major names. Intel fell 8 percent and Marvell dropped about 12 percent, while Apple and Nvidia also declined. The Nasdaq finished in negative territory even as the Dow rose roughly 200 points. Hyperscalers and chip stocks have now fallen over 30 percent, and a basket of major AI and chip stocks lost approximately $5 trillion in value since October 6th. Alphabet alone shed nearly $500 billion, marking one of the steepest pullbacks in recent memory.
Portfolio manager Adam Johnson pointed to a persistent concern: AI capital spending keeps soaking up cash without clear returns on the horizon. Tech stocks now trade below their 10-year average price-to-earnings ratio despite the massive buildout. Johnson warned investors against simply buying dips ahead of earnings from Apple and Nvidia, saying caution remains warranted.
OpenAI moved aggressively in the Middle East, signing four deals across energy, government, and investment sectors in Abu Dhabi. CEO Sam Altman met with Abu Dhabi crown prince Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan during the visit. The agreements include a $20 billion funding round with UAE investors, while ADNOC and G42 committed to deploying OpenAI technology. The government also partnered on translating policies into machine-readable form. Energy agreements figured prominently, addressing the high electricity demands of training frontier AI models.
Abu Dhabi's sovereign investors, including Mubadala, manage over $1 trillion in assets and could provide long-term capital for AI development. The deals reflect a broader shift in AI geopolitics as Middle Eastern states position themselves as neutral ground for American AI companies looking to expand globally.
Google faces questions about the reliability of its AI search summaries. A research team ran 55,393 Google queries over 40 days in early 2026 and found that AI Overviews appeared in 13.7 percent of searches. About one in nine factual claims in those summaries was not supported by the sources cited. The findings raise concerns about how AI-generated information shapes what users see and how publishers earn money from search traffic.
On the competitive front, Anthropic reports a $65 billion annual run-rate and expects $100 to $120 billion by December. OpenAI sits at roughly $50 billion run-rate with a target of $70 billion by year-end. Google's Gemini app has reached 1 billion users, and its Cloud revenue hit $30.7 billion last quarter. All three companies buy computing power from each other and rivals like Microsoft and Amazon, suggesting the AI market may produce multiple profitable winners rather than a single dominant leader.
Resemble AI launched Agent Detection, a tool designed to identify AI agents posing as real people online. Its behavioral model RAD-S1 scored 98.8 percent accuracy in internal testing, far outperforming six common bot detection tools that scored between 3.1 percent and 14.8 percent. The tool analyzes cursor movement, typing rhythm, and on-page actions. The launch followed major banks blocking AI agents from customer accounts over liability and security concerns.
The Arab League called on its 22 member states to build shared systems for verifying information and countering AI-generated false content. Assistant Secretary-General Ahmed Rashid Khattabi stressed that media groups must maintain professional standards and accuracy. The discussions took place during a seminar in cooperation with Cairo University's Faculty of Mass Communication, focusing on protecting information security and modernizing Arab media.
In other developments, Dataline raised $10 million to expand its two-sided marketplace for agent-payable data, which has already powered 19.4 million on-chain transactions. Predictiv AI's subsidiary Shift Technologies signed a Master Agreement with Metrolinx on October 26, 2026, giving Ontario transit agencies access to on-demand transit software through a shared procurement framework covering 43 active partners.

AI coding assistants still use outdated exchange rates in generated code
AI coding tools often insert old, hardcoded exchange rates into currency converter code instead of fetching live data. These rates come from training data and reflect a past market day with no record of when the rate was taken. Exchangeratesapi offers a solution by providing live and historical rates for over 170 currencies drawn from more than 15 sources. Developers can use this API to ensure AI-generated applications always use accurate, up-to-date currency data.
