OpenAI Urges US to Lead Global AI Standards Push
OpenAI is urging the US to lead an effort with other countries to set standards for cutting-edge artificial intelligence, responding to mounting concerns about the technology's potential harms. In a blog post Monday, the company said international technical standards are needed to develop AI safely, particularly to define what kinds of incidents involving AI models should be reported, determine how countries can work together on AI advancement, and improve access to compute capacity. OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman plans to address the UN Security Council on Wednesday to discuss AI and international security, and will attend a White House state dinner for China's President Xi Jinping on Thursday. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said over the weekend that China and the US have agreed to create a US-China AI dialogue to develop a common understanding of the technology's benefits and threats, and Washington proposed a notification mechanism covering AI incidents with national security implications. OpenAI suggested standards work could be done via existing AI safety institutes in a number of countries, including the US's Center for AI Standards and Innovation, an organization within the US Commerce Department, and said fully autonomous recursive self improvement shouldn't be pursued unless and until it can be done safely.

Broadcom AI Revenue Surges 221% as 24/7 Wall St. Sets $426 Target
Broadcom's AI semiconductor revenue surged 221% year-over-year to $16.70 billion in fiscal Q3 2026, even as the stock trades at $357.61 and has gained just 3.71% year-to-date, prompting 24/7 Wall St. to issue a BUY rating with a $426.10 price target implying 19.15% upside. The September 2 report showed total revenue of $29.59 billion, up 85.5% year-over-year, with non-GAAP EPS of $3.32 marking the ninth straight beat, and management guided Q4 AI revenue to $21.7 billion, up 236%. CEO Hock Tan has targeted exceeding $100 billion in AI sales by 2027 and disclosed a Meta partnership for 3 gigawatts through 2028, an OpenAI commitment of 1.3 gigawatts in 2027 within a broader 10 gigawatts by 2029 agreement, and $6 billion in additional purchase orders from two unnamed customers. Broadcom's forward P/E of 19 sits below NVIDIA's 24, while Marvell Technology competes for the same hyperscaler ASIC sockets. Risks center on customer concentration among a limited number of hyperscale AI customers and expected gross margin compression toward 74% as AI silicon becomes a larger mix.
Microsoft Shares Slip as Publishers Press AI Copyright Testimony
Microsoft shares slipped approximately 0.8% to $493.84 Friday after news organizations unsealed parts of their summary-judgment filing in their copyright case against the company. The publishers are focusing on testimony from Microsoft and OpenAI executives, arguing that AI-generated answers can reduce the need for readers to visit the original news sites. Microsoft pushed back, saying those comments reflect individual views rather than settling whether its use of copyrighted material qualifies as fair use, and the court has not ruled on the publishers' allegations. For investors, the pressure point is the economics behind Copilot and AI search, since a ruling that answer engines materially erode publishers' traffic or licensing value could bring higher content costs or changes to how Microsoft's products surface information. At $493.84, Microsoft trades 15.66% below its GF Value estimate of $585.56.
