JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co&nbsp;(NYSE:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jpm#NYSE">JPM</a>) CEO&nbsp;Jamie Dimon&nbsp;sees a future in which AI benefits nearly all aspects of people&#8217;s lives and even&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/10/35069588/this-not-super-common-factor-could-help-you-live-to-100-or-longer-even-if-you-drink-smoke-and-rarely">allows individuals to live longer</a>.
What To Know:&nbsp;In a CNBC interview at JPMorgan's Global High Yield &amp; Leveraged Finance&nbsp;conference in February, Dimon disputed the notion that AI excitement is just "hype."
"This is not hype. This is real. So, you know, when we had the internet bubble the first time around… that was hype. This is not hype, it's real," Dimon said.
Despite companies across the globe racing to implement AI, some observers believe it's a fad. Dimon is not in that camp. Companies are deploying AI at different speeds and the technology is only going to improve, he said.
"It's not hype. This will be for the rest of your life… you're going to find different ways to use it," Dimon said.
Check This Out: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42254083/jamie-dimon-is-desperate-for-ai-on-his-phone-expands-jpmorgan-ai-adoption-to-all-staff">Jamie Dimon Is &#8216;Desperate&#8217; for AI On His Phone, Expands JPMorgan AI Adoption To All Staff</a>
Dimon has long been a supporter of AI advancement. Last year, he said AI was "critical" to JPMorgan's future success. The 68-year-old CEO also suggested that the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/10/35038968/jamie-dimon-predicts-ai-will-lead-to-3-5-day-work-week-cure-cancer-and-more">&nbsp;upside potential of AI was "limitless."</a>
Dimon told CNBC earlier this year that JPMorgan had about 200 people designated for AI research, collecting data on large language models (LLMs) and figuring out different ways LLMs can be used. As of March, the company had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/03/37610586/after-saying-ai-is-not-hype-jpmorgans-jamie-dimon-reveals-how-he-personally-and-professionally-uses">expanded AI adoption to its entire staff</a> and now reportedly aims to have personal AI assistants for employees in 2025.
AI will be used across numerous fields, but one of the most exciting is in healthcare, the JPMorgan CEO said.
"It will save lives. It may invent cancer cures because it can do things that the human mind simply cannot do," Dimon said.
The JPMorgan chief explained that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ai">&nbsp;AI</a>&nbsp;will be able to combine several data points about your personal background and medical history and then use that data to predict and determine medical conditions.
AI technology can help invent drugs that can cure those conditions and even prevent them from ever happening in the first place, he said: "So I'm a big optimist about AI."

The U.S. stock market continued its upward momentum, with the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq marking their third consecutive week of gains, rising 0.96% and 3.34%, respectively, while the Dow edged down 0.6%.

Meanwhile, consumer sentiment, as measured by the University of Michigan, improved to a seven-month high, despite heightened inflation concerns influencing some consumers to expedite <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42373700/stock-markets-extends-record-highs-us-labor-market-recovers-bitcoin-hits-100000-this-week-in-the-markets">purchases of durable goods.</a>

Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Tesla, GameStop, Nvidia, Bitcoin, And Dogecoin Analyst Flags $1.30-$1.50 As Key Target

Sen. Bernie Sanders was very straightforward in a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVlum0tUsTs">interview</a>, where he took a hard look at the Democratic Party and its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42116975/bernie-sanders-says-its-very-easy-to-lose-touch-with-ordinary-peoples-struggles-defends-owning-3-houses-and-a-2-million-net-worth">relationship with the working class</a>. Sanders has long been a vocal advocate for everyday Americans and this time, he went straight to the point: the Democratic Party has, in his words, "abandoned the working class," and they're paying the price for it.

</ul>
In the aftermath of Harris&#8217; recent campaign loss, Sanders pointed out what he sees as a major issue: people are struggling more than ever while the wealthy are thriving. "The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41793530/bernie-sanders-says-american-people-are-angry-and-want-change-and-theyre-right-democrats-have-abando">working people of this country are extremely angry</a>," Sanders said. "They have a right to be angry. In the richest country in the history of the world, today the people on top are doing phenomenally well while 60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck."
Sanders was direct about income inequality. He stressed that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41193824/are-you-rich-enough-to-be-in-the-top-1-heres-both-the-income-and-net-worth-you-need-to-rank-amon">top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 90%</a> and that the U.S. has the highest rate of childhood poverty among major countries. Additionally, one in four seniors is trying to get by on $15,000 a year or less. "Where is the Democratic Party?" Sanders asked, suggesting they're not doing enough to tackle these issues.

A major point of criticism Sanders had for the Democrats was their failure to raise the minimum wage to what he calls a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40352204/do-you-know-what-salary-it-takes-to-live-comfortably-heres-a-hint-its-much-higher-than-the-avera">living wage</a>. He explained that even though millions of people in the country work hard, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39817447/warren-buffett-says-anyone-who-works-40-hours-a-week-should-live-a-decent-life-heres-what-he-pro">they're not earning enough</a> to make ends meet. "In the Senate in the last two years, we have not even brought forth legislation to raise the minimum wage to a living wage, although some 20 million people in this country are working for less than $15 an hour," Sanders said.
Sanders also addressed Speaker Nancy Pelosi's recent pushback against his statements. But Sanders stood firm, explaining that while he respects Pelosi, he thinks it's clear that the party has to do more. "Do you think that the Democratic Party is going to the max, taking on powerful special interests and fighting for you?" The overwhelming answer to him is no, which needs to change.
Trending: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?
The Vermont senator believes it's time for the Democratic Party to show that they are willing to stand up for ordinary Americans – not just in words, but through action. He pointed out that they haven't made much progress on issues like expanding union rights or strengthening <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42217382/bernie-sanders-demands-scrap-the-cap-on-social-security-taxes-its-absurd-a-billionaire-pays-same-amount-as-middle-class-earners">Social Security</a> benefits for retirees. "People are in pain. People are hurting. They can&#8217;t afford to go to a doctor. They can&#8217;t afford to send their kids to child care or to college."
When asked how much he blames President Biden for the recent loss, Sanders gave a measured response. He acknowledged that Biden, when he came into office, promised to be the most progressive president since FDR. "On domestic issues, not foreign policy, Biden has kept his word and pushed through a strong agenda," Sanders said. But he said that it still isn&#8217;t enough to fix the big problems of unfairness in American society because, even though Biden has done some good things, the rest of the party needs to do more to help working families if they want to regain their trust.

Crowdsourced encyclopedia Wikipedia has released the lists of its most popular pages for 2024, including some sorted by category. Here's a look at the top items in 2024.
What Happened: When it comes to searching for things online and wondering the who, what, where, when and why, some people <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/wikipedia">turn to Wikipedia</a>.
"When people want to learn about our world – the good, bad, weird, and wild alike – they turn to Wikipedia," site owner Wikimedia Foundation <a href="https://wikimediafoundation.org/news/2024/12/03/announcing-english-wikipedias-most-popular-articles-of-2024/">said</a>.
The report said people around the world spent 2.4 billion hours, or around 275,000 years, reading English Wikipedia in 2024.
These were the most visited Wikipedia pages in 2024:
<ol>
<li>Deaths in 2024</li>

List Trends: The biggest trend that stands out from the list is the interest in politics with Kamala Harris, Donald Trump and J.D. Vance all ranking in the top 10. The 2024 election and 2020 election pages also made the top 25 list with readers likely looking for details on the candidates and key events that shaped these key election years.
Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk was one of the only business figures to make the list, ranking 17th. Musk likely saw a spike in interest from people thanks to his growing influence in politics with a public endorsement of Trump and his campaigning in key swing states for the 2024 election.
The electric vehicle company ran by Musk also became a key topic in 2024 with a company event showing off the company's robotaxi ambitions and a growing battle over electric vehicle regulatory credits.
Streaming giant Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) can often influence top searches in a year on Google and shows its presence on the Wikipedia list with Lyle and Erik Menendez, also known as the Menendez Brothers, ranking fourth on the list.
Netflix put out a documentary film in October on the brothers that drew strong interest nationwide and around the world. Netflix also released a series on Griselda Blanco, a figure who ranked 21st on the list.
Movie "Deadpool &amp; Wolverine" ranked eighth on the list. The movie from The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/08/40319102/disneys-deadpool-wolverine-hits-1b-d23-unveils-new-sequels-theme-park-expansions-fortnite-c">set records for R-rated films </a>and is the second highest grossing movie domestically and worldwide at $636.7 million and $1.34 billion respectively.
Global superstar Taylor Swift ranked 11th on the list. In the business world, Swift has been instrumental in the success of several sectors and provided a boost to companies like Live Nation, AMC Entertainment <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42351922/trump-predicted-taylor-swift-sales-would-drop-target-data-shows-over-800k-sold">and most recently</a> Target.

Bitcoin Back Crossed $100,000, Ethereum Hit $4,000: Friday In Review

Those paying attention to the news know that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/24/11/42138717/dollar-hits-2-year-highs-as-europes-recession-signals-spark-euro-pound-sell-offs">U.S. dollar has surged</a> since the presidential election. But what does that mean for you, your wallet and your everyday spending? Let's break it down simply, as a stronger dollar impacts your money&#8217;s progress.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Upsides: Travel, Imports and Lower Prices</h2>
A strong dollar means that the U.S. dollar is worth more than other currencies worldwide. This is a good time if you love traveling or buying imported goods. A stronger dollar means international travel becomes cheaper so that European vacation won&#8217;t burn as big a hole in your pocket as you thought because your dollars can buy more euros now than they could a few months ago. Hotels, meals, souvenirs and all the fun stuff you want to do abroad will cost you less in terms of dollars – giving you more bang for your buck.
You'll also notice some imported goods, like luxury cars, electronics or even food items, cost a bit less. As Business Insider reports, foreign companies want to keep selling to U.S. consumers and the stronger dollar helps them price their products more affordably here.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Downsides: Trouble for U.S. Exports and Jobs</h2>
Of course, it's not all good news. A stronger dollar also means American-made products become more expensive for people in other countries. If you work in an industry that sells goods to other countries – like manufacturing, farming or tech – this could be a problem. Higher prices overseas mean fewer buyers, which can hurt company profits and lead to cutbacks or job losses.
Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA Research, told Business Insider that about 40% of revenues from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/12/42308304/sp-500-hits-another-high-as-apple-tops-242-for-the-first-time-fear-index-remains-in-greed-zone">S&amp;P 500 companies</a> come from overseas operations. If you invest in companies that do a lot of business overseas, like big multinational corporations, their profits might take a hit when they convert foreign earnings back into dollars. &#8220;As a result, the higher dollar will likely result in lower profits from overseas operations, depressing the company&#8217;s overall earnings,&#8221; Stovall stated. So, if your investments are heavy in U.S. companies that sell internationally, you may want to monitor their earnings reports.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Groceries and Gas Prices</h2>
While cheaper imports can help keep prices down, products made in the U.S. could become pricier, especially if they rely on foreign demand. As mentioned, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/invest-in-farmland">American farmers</a> who export a lot might see fewer buyers abroad, which could mean fewer sales and more pressure on prices at home.
Gas prices, however, could benefit from a strong dollar. Since oil is priced globally in dollars, a stronger currency could mean slightly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/24/12/42280136/gas-prices-fall-for-7th-straight-week-to-3-per-gallon-reaching-2021-levels">cheaper gas at the pump</a>, as long as there aren't other supply issues messing with oil prices.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is It Good or Bad? It Depends</h2>
Depending on your circumstances, a higher dollar may or may not be advantageous. This surge may benefit you if you plan a trip overseas or purchase imported products such as expensive cars. But if your income depends on U.S. exports or if your investments are tied to companies doing a lot of business overseas, you could be feeling the downside.
In the end, the value of the dollar impacts all of us differently – some will get more value for their money, while others might find they're getting less. Keeping an eye on how the dollar affects the things you buy, the places you travel and even the stocks you hold can help you make the most of your money, whether the dollar is up or down.

More Bang For Your Buck Or Less Value for Your Money – What The U.S. Dollar Surge Means For You And Your Wallet

In a blog post this week, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, shared how his childhood passion for reading was instrumental in his journey to becoming a billionaire.&nbsp;
What Happened: Gates expressed doubt about whether he would have achieved his billionaire status if he had grown up in today&#8217;s digital era, dominated by smartphones and social media.
"When I felt restless or bored — or got in trouble for misbehaving — I would disappear into my room and lose myself in books or ideas, often for hours without interruption. This ability to turn idle time into deep thinking and learning became a fundamental part of who I am," he stated.
Adding, "It was also crucial to my success later on."
Throughout his career, Gates has credited his accomplishments to his reading habits and periods of intense focus, such as his &#8220;Think Week&#8221; retreats.
These sessions allowed him to concentrate on future innovations, including the development of Internet Explorer.

Gates cautioned that the technologies he helped popularize might impede the deep thinking necessary for groundbreaking innovations.
The tech mogul recommended &#8220;The Anxious Generation&#8221; by Jonathan Haidt as a must-read. The book explores how technology has affected young minds, contributing to mental health challenges.&nbsp;
He spoke about the value of a &#8220;play-based childhood&#8221; over a &#8220;phone-based&#8221; one, as highlighted in Haidt&#8217;s book.
"Today's teenagers spend an average of six to eight hours per day on screen-based leisure activities—that is, not for schoolwork or homework," he wrote, adding, "I'm especially worried about the impact on critical thinking and concentrating."

Why It Matters: Gatest currently has a net worth of $166 billion, according <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">to</a> the Bloomberg Billionaire Index.
Microsoft, the company he co-founded and spearheaded for years has now reached a market capitalization of $3.297 billion, making it the third most valuable company in the world.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Last month, Gates expressed his willingness to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41869269/bill-gates-ready-to-give-up-62-of-his-fortune-advocates-for-wealth-tax">relinquish 62% of his wealth</a> under a proposed tax system targeting the affluent. He has been vocal about wealth disparity and the need for the wealthy to contribute more to society.
Gates has also warned of an impending <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41949050/bill-gates-warned-the-u-s-will-experience-another-2008-style-financial-crisis-he-cant-predict-when-but-says-this-is-a-certainty">financial crisis</a> akin to the 2008 recession, highlighting the importance of financial preparedness.
