Trump’s U.N. Return: Nationalism Gets To...

NBC NEWS
About this episode

Overnight, the Secret Service revealed it had dismantled a network of electronic devices hidden across New York City, capable of shutting down the cell network and even sending anonymous assassination threats. Investigators are now probing whether it was meant to disrupt the U.N. General Assembly  this week. And just hours later, President Trump took the stage for his first address to the U.N. since returning to office. His speech struck a decidedly nationalist tone, opening with a declaration of American dominance to a room full of global leaders. Senior White House correspondent Garrett Haake joins host Yasmin Vossoughian from outside the UN to break it all down. And the chip giant Nvidia has just made a jaw-dropping bet on the future of artificial intelligence, announcing it will invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT. The deal means OpenAI gains access to Nvidia’s cutting-edge technology for its data centers, enabling it to train and run its next-generation AI models. Jason Abbruzzese, the assistant managing editor of NBC News Digital, joins to explain the new AI race.
