SALTY STORIES OF THE WEEK 🧂

Want some seasoning? Here are the saltiest AI stories in FRY-nance from this week:

• Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang opened CES 2025 by saying, “AI agents [are] likely to be a multitrillion-dollar opportunity.” Unlike chatbots, AI agents operate autonomously, performing tasks without direct prompts. Nvidia’s AI Enterprise platform enables companies like Salesforce and SAP to develop these digital assistants, streamlining workflows across industries. With the potential for the AI agent market to reach $3 trillion, even a 5% share could add $150 billion in revenue for Nvidia. (Read More)

• Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturer, reported a 57% profit increase last quarter, driven by surging demand for AI power. The company posted a net profit of $11.4 billion, with annual revenue rising 34% to $88 billion. TSMC’s growth comes amid escalating U.S.-China trade tensions, as the U.S. tightens AI chip export restrictions to curb China’s access while exempting close allies such as Taiwan. These restrictions may affect future demand for TSMC’s AI chips, but to expand globally, TSMC plans to build new factories in the U.S. and Japan, supported by billions in government subsidies.

• Financial planning and analysis (FP&A) has seen significant technological advancements, yet many teams still rely on traditional tools like Excel over AI-driven solutions. According to the Association of Finance Professionals’ 2025 FP&A Benchmarking Survey, only 23% of finance professionals currently use AI for tasks like forecasting, budgeting, and cash management. Key barriers include a lack of expertise (scoring 3.8 out of 5), unclear return on investment (3.7), and concerns about data security and corporate strategy (3.6). Interestingly, smaller companies also appear more flexible in adopting AI tools compared to larger organizations. (Read More)

THIS WEEK’S DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH 💎

My motto is “Efficiency. Efficiency. Efficiency.” Oops, I guess I only need to say it once. 🤷‍♀️

This week’s diamond in the rough: Airship AI (AISP)

How is Airship using AI? Airship’s AI-driven platforms assist law enforcement and defense agencies in real-time decision-making by processing vast amounts of data from video feeds, sensors, and reports. The company’s logistics solutions use machine learning algorithms to analyze this data to optimize supply chains and resource allocation, making operations more efficient and secure.

Want some numbers? The company’s annual revenue surged past $500 million in 2024, a result of solid infrastructure and key partnerships. In Q4 2024, Airship AI Holdings posted a remarkable 172% increase in stock value, driven by several high-profile contracts with government and private organizations.
