We recently compiled a list of the Top 8 Trending AI Stock Updates On Wall Street Today. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Astera Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALAB) stands against the other AI stocks.
As the global AI race heats up with rapid developments in Asia, led by China, the UK government is attempting to strengthen its relationship with the US, with AI at the forefront of the transatlantic collaboration. The UK Prime Minister confirmed during a visit to the White House in February that the nations are working on a new economic plan focusing on advanced technologies.
Meanwhile, US Vice President J.D. Vance said on March 18th that freeing AI from regulation is beneficial for American workers and tech innovators.
“I think there’s too much fear that AI will simply replace jobs rather than augmenting so many of the things that we do now,” said Vance at the Andreessen Horowitz American Dynamism Summit in Washington, D.C.
Although he acknowledged that AI could lead to the displacement of jobs, the vice president highlighted that historical evidence shows that innovation helps create higher-paying jobs.
Elsewhere, OpenAI described DeepSeek as state-controlled in a new policy proposal. It urged the US government to consider banning models from the outfit, claiming potential security risks due to its possible connection with the People’s Republic of China (PRC). OpenAI had previously accused DeepSeek of “distilling” knowledge from OpenAI’s models in violation of its terms of service.
“We’re not advocating for restrictions on people using models like DeepSeek. What we’re proposing are changes to U.S. export rules that would allow additional countries to access U.S. compute on the condition that their datacenters don’t rely on PRC technology that present[s] security risks — instead of restricting their access to chips based on the assumption that they will divert technology to the PRC. The goal is more compute and more AI for more countries and more people.”
