Tech Report: AI boom fuels record stock highs; Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft unveil new tech moves

The artificial intelligence boom is helping lift the U.S. economy and drive the stock market to record highs

(LILAMAX) – The artificial intelligence boom is helping lift the U.S. economy and drive the stock market to record highs, with major gains led by Nvidia and other top tech companies.

Investors are showing strong enthusiasm for AI infrastructure investments. Broadcom shares are up more than 50% this year after doubling in both 2023 and 2024, while Nvidia and Alphabet have each risen nearly 40% in 2025. Analysts say the next few days — packed with major tech earnings reports — will offer more insight into how AI is reshaping profits and growth.

Meanwhile, Amazon unveiled new high-tech smart glasses designed for delivery drivers. The glasses allow hands-free operation, letting workers pick up and carry packages without needing a phone to photograph deliveries. The company says the goal is to “help humans, not replace them” as robotic systems evolve.

Apple is also expanding its digital ecosystem, planning to roll out ads on Apple Maps as early as next year. Businesses and restaurants will be able to pay for boosted visibility in search results — a strategy similar to Google Maps.

Microsoft announced an updated release of “Halo: Combat Evolved” to mark the game’s 25th anniversary next year. In a surprising move, the title will also debut on the Sony PlayStation, signaling Microsoft’s shift toward broader gaming access.
