Elections in France and the UK are of immediate concern, but it’s the latest developments in the battle to be the next US President which may turn out to be the most consequential political events of the past week. And then we check in with the sometime biggest company in the world, Nvidia. Why are some now doubting it’s future dominance in AI?
