Big Tech’s Big AI Race & Illumina CEO’s Proxy Fight 04/26/23

Microsoft and Alphabet have reported strong financial results, but as CNBC’s Steve Kovach reports, investors were only listening for big tech’s big plans for AI. RSE Ventures co-founder and “Burn the Boats” author Matt Higgins discusses the AI strategy for all the tech giants and what’s at stake for companies that slow their innovation. Elsewhere in the AI arms race, Apple is planning an AI-powered health coach. Biotech company Illumina is fighting to keep Grail, a product that tests for cancer with only a single drop of blood. CEO Francis Desouza discusses his proxy fight with activist investor Carl Icahn and the push to divest Grail from the rest of the biotech business. Plus, Wall Street is sizing up the balance sheets of regional banks including PacWest and First Republic.
