Nintendo reported an operating profit of 101.7 billion yen ($764 million), falling short of analyst expectations by about 13.5 billion yen ($101.4 million.)

A new study from Accenture says just 12% of firms have figured out how to deploy AI to "achieve superior growth and business transformation." In other words, there's quite a bit of work yet to be done when it comes to AI success. The correlation between AI use and business achievement is still positive. As far back as 2019, Accenture noted that top AI achievers see 50% better revenue growth than their peers who are not AI experts. No one is calling for an AI rethink, yet progress seems to be coming painfully slowly in the real-world branch of the AI discussion.

The chief executive of Tinder has left the dating app after less than a year after the market value of its parent company plunged by more than a fifth following reporting disappointing results. The departure of Renate Nyborg was one of a number of management changes announced by the $20bn Match Group, which owns dating brands including Hinge, Tinder and Match.com. Its share price plunged by more than 20% on Tuesday after missing Wall Street second-quarter expectations and issuing weaker-than-expected guidance. "Today we are announcing the departure of Tinder chief executive Renate Nyborg, and I have made some changes to the management team and structure that I am confident will help deliver Tinder's full potential," said Bernard Kim, the chief executive of Match Group, in a letter to shareholders. "We have not been able to realise the monetisation successes that we typically deliver. Tinder's current revenue growth expectations for the second half of the year are below our original expectations as a result of disappointing execution on several optimisations and new product initiatives."

World-renowned semiconductor producer Nvidia is widely regarded as a pioneering force behind artificial intelligence (AI), and it remains a leader in the field today. But AI is a rapidly growing industry with plenty of room for other contributors, and in fact, some experts predict the majority of companies will be using AI by 2030, adding $13 trillion in value to the global economy. Therefore, while Nvidia is a $413 billion giant today, three Motley Fool contributors think C3ai (AI -0.70%), Riskified (RSKD 0.69%), and CrowdStrike (CRWD 0.83%) are artificial intelligence powerhouses of the future. Anthony Di Pizio (C3ai): One thing the artificial intelligence industry is missing is accessibility. Typically, only large technology companies with the financial resources and the ability to attract talented developers have been able to use AI in a meaningful capacity.
