Day 2 of AI Backlash on Wall Street

Davina Hurt, director, government ethics, interviewed by NBC Bay Area.

Stocks tumbled across the board for two days in a row, particularly stocks associated with AI. AI and data centers are increasingly unpopular with voters, and tech stocks are seeing that backlash in the market.

Davina Hurt, director, government ethics, weighs in on why this is happening. Hurt says, "The American people said that this direction is not the one we would like to go in...I think they're just becoming increasingly uncomfortable about how much power is concentrated in the hands of people and institutions that they don't necessarily trust."
