Google (GOOGL) Pledges Support for EU AI Rules While Warning Against Overregulation

Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:) is one of the . On July 30, Alphabet Google's global affairs president said in a blog post that it will sign the European Union's code of practice to help companies comply with the bloc's landmark artificial intelligence rules. The voluntary code of practice strives to offer legal certainty to signatories on how to meet requirements under the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act). 'We do so with the hope that this code, as applied, will promote European citizens' and businesses' access to secure, first-rate AI tools as they become available.' -Kent Walker, who is also Alphabet's chief legal officer. In other news, CNBC reported how Google executives are pushing their employees to be innovative with their use of artificial intelligence as the tech giant looks for ways to cut down costs. CEO Sundar Pichai and executive Brian Saluzzo conveyed the message at a meeting last week. 'Anytime you go through a period of extraordinary investment, you respond by adding a lot of headcount, right? But in this AI moment, I think we have to accomplish more by taking advantage of this transition to drive higher productivity.' Alphabet announced in its earnings report last week that it plans on spending spend $85 billion on capital expenditures in 2025, up from the previous $75 billion. 'We are competing with other companies in the world. There will be companies which will become more efficient through this moment in terms of employee productivity, which is why I think it's important to focus on that.' Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is an American multinational technology conglomerate holding company wholly owning the internet giant Google, amongst other businesses.

Jim Cramer has a blunt verdict on three hot stocks

Jim Cramer has a blunt verdict on three hot stocks originally appeared on TheStreet. When it comes to the stock market's most recent high flyers, Jim Cramer is not shy about his words. In a post on X, the CNBC anchor mentioned three stocks that he called "BORROWED TIME." On August 1, Cramer pointed to CoreWeave, Circle, and Figma as overbought. His advice comes as excitement swells around, as few tech and crypto-adjacent firms have lately gone public. Figma (FIG), the design software company, had its debut on July 31on the New York Stock Exchange. Soon after debuting at its $33 IPO price, Figma shares skyrocketed to $98—marking a surge of over 198% on its first day of trading. At one point, FIG went as high as $148 per share. At press time, however, FIG was trading at $114.05, down 1.26% in the last day. The company is valued at $55.66 billion as of writing. Figma also made headlines for its Bitcoin treasury holdings before going public, and has plans to grow its Bitcoin balance by adding another $30 million in Circle (CRCL), the publicly traded stablecoin issuer for USDC, has already seen a phenomenal run-up since going public on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on June 5. It debuted at $31 per share, peaked in the day at $248, and had a rally of 700%. But on Friday afternoon, Circle was trading at $169.76, down almost 8%. The AI data center CoreWeave (CRWV), which originated from a crypto mining company, has also seen its fair share of growth. However, CRWV was trading at $104.28 on Friday, down from $114.13 the day before. The stock prices come as the larger crypto market experiences substantial corrections, with an $805 million liquidation after President Donald Trump's new proposed tariffs.

Kleiner Perkins is having a very good week

Even while the tech industry is still fanning its face over Figma's hot IPO on Thursday, another significant tech IPO occurred this week: Ambiq Micro. On Wednesday, the chip maker for wearable devices saw its shares climb from the initial price of $24 to over $42 on Friday. There's one thing both companies have in common: Kleiner Perkins was a major investor. So it's been a very good week for the venerable venture firm. Just for fun, we've calculated the value of Kleiner Perkins' stake in each company. Kleiner sold 1,346,499 shares of Figma at the IPO price of $33, Figma disclosed, and could have sold as many as 2,756,020 shares at that price if the bankers exercised their option to nab additional shares. Given how much demand outstripped supply for shares of Figma, we're going to assume the bankers will snap up the full tranche (or they already have). Meanwhile, Kleiner still holds 52,364,374 shares of Figma, the company says. Share prices are still fluctuating wildly in heavy trading on Day 2, from about $110 to over $142, but closed Day 1 at $115, so we'll use that number. For Figma: An estimated $91 million returned from share sales and a remaining stake worth more than $6 billion (2,756,02 shares at $33 = $90,948,660, and 52,364,374 shares at $115 = $6,021,903,010). For perspective, this stake in Figma alone is worth 3x the last mega-funds the firm raised, which was $2 billion across two vehicles in 2024. By the way, the Kleiner partner who oversaw its investment was Figma board member Mamoon Hamid. Ambiq is a much smaller company and it was a much smaller IPO. It sold a total of 4 million shares and raised $96 million for itself in its IPO. Existing shareholders are subject to the classic 180 days lockup before they can sell. Kleiner holds 2,081,831 shares, the company disclosed. Shares are still trading at a premium to the IPO price as of Friday and closed Thursday at $43.85. So we'll use that price. Ambiq stake: $91.3 million (2,081,831 at $43.85 = $91,288,289). But wait! There's more. Kleiner is also having a good month and possibly year (Kleiner has declined comment for this story). The firm reportedly scored a decent return earlier this month as part of Google's deal to license tech from Windsurf and hire away its top talent. We don't know exactly how much of the $1.1 billion or so VCs obtained from the Windsurf deal went to Kleiner specifically. But TechCrunch's Marina Temkin reports the total return was about 3x the original funding. And at least one more Kleiner-backed company is waiting in the wings to IPO. Fleet tracking startup Motive Technologies raised $150 million led by Kleiner Perkins, with Ilya Fushman joining the board, the company announced this week. Bloomberg reported in December that Motive is gearing up for an IPO, potentially still in 2025.
