Figure caption, Watch: Jensen Huang speaks to the BBC's Faisal Islam in 2025 Jensen Huang has the air of the late Steve Jobs about him. I have interviewed both, and the up-close charisma - and occasionally scratchy genius - is shared. Both sported a signature item of black clothing, although Huang opts for a leather jacket rather than the Apple founder's turtle neck. However, Huang, who is now being investigated over an affair with an alleged Chinese spy, is far more important to the future of the world order than Jobs.

Kevin Warsh, the Federal Reserve chairman, will explain the central bank's decision on rates, as energy prices and A.I. spending keep inflation uncomfortably high.

The Federal Reserve is expected to press pause on raising interest rates Wednesday after delivering an increase last month for the first time since 2023. Officials have signaled that the reprieve is likely to be temporary because they have more work to do to tame persistent inflation. But they have conveyed that there is no urgency to raise rates two months in a row. Recent inflation data has complicated that message. Price pressures appear to be accelerating, rather than moving toward the Fed's 2 percent target, a level that has been missed for nearly six years. Kevin M. Warsh, who took over as Fed chairman in May, has vowed to get inflation back to that level more quickly. Looming large over Wednesday's decision are next week's midterm elections. Officials insist elections don't factor in their deliberations, but the political backdrop has heightened scrutiny of Mr. Warsh. The Fed will release its rate decision at 2 p.m. in Washington. Mr. Warsh will hold a news conference at 2:30.
Trump Aides Admit the House Is a Lost Cause
With the midterm elections just a few weeks away, the White House knows it has to go all in on Senate races--while virtually forfeiting the House. Trump White House aides see almost no paths to Republicans keeping control of the House in the midterm elections, and are more focused on redoubling their efforts to save the Senate majority. That has been the takeaway for officials in GOP groups who have been discussing the state of play with White House aides in recent weeks, according to three sources familiar with the situation. It all comes as the White House moves into damage-control mode after contemplating for the first time earlier this month, as previously reported, that Republicans could possibly lose both chambers of Congress. The general expectation is that the House has become a lost cause.

On Wednesday, the New York Times reported that Meta has been treating its AI data centers as experimental facilities to claim billions of dollars in federal research tax credits, a strategy the company's own accountants reportedly flagged as legally risky.

Trump's AI rebrand causes 'unprecedented' demand for Slovenian website names
President Donald Trump's push to rename AI may be behind an unprecedented rise in registrations for domain names in Slovenia, according to its official national registry. The president wants AI to be called super intelligence - or SI - the same initials used by Slovenian websites. She said the scale of activity in late September was unprecedented compared to the previous 12 months. President Trump called for the technology to be renamed during his speech to the United Nations General Assembly in New York on 11 September. The use of the word artificial makes it sound fake, he said.
