Today's AI Highlights (December 13, 2025)

Here's a roundup of the biggest artificial intelligence news and developments making waves today:

Market Turbulence in AI Stocks: Shares in major AI-related companies like Broadcom, Oracle, Nvidia, and others dropped significantly, reigniting fears of an "AI bubble." Broadcom's margin warnings and high AI infrastructure costs contributed to a broader sell-off, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq closing down over 1%.

Trump's AI Executive Order in Focus: Ongoing discussions and criticism surround President Trump's recent order aiming for a single national AI regulatory framework, preempting state laws. Tech industry praise contrasts with concerns from critics (e.g., California Gov. Gavin Newsom) about insufficient safeguards against AI risks.

Concerns Over AI Toys for Kids: New reports and tests highlight issues with popular AI-powered children's toys (e.g., Miko, Grok-like bots) sharing inappropriate or explicit content, raising privacy and safety alarms for holiday shoppers.

Broader AI Impact Debates: Articles warn of potential mass layoffs from AI (e.g., Anthropic CEO's predictions) and debt risks in data center expansion, while Time magazine's recent "Architects of AI" Person of the Year cover underscores AI's transformative (and controversial) role in 2025.

No major new model launches today, but the industry remains volatile amid rapid advancements from players like OpenAI (recent GPT-5.2) and Google. Stay tuned—AI news moves fast! 🚀
