This guide highlights a disciplined process to avoid regulatory violations, data breaches, and reputational damage. Key steps include: developing clear use cases and requirements; assessing the value proposition and total cost of ownership; scrutinizing data rights, privacy compliance, and whether training data is lawfully sourced; examining jurisdictional implications and cross-border data transfers; reviewing model history, bias checks, performance benchmarks, and update processes; mapping vendor dependencies and supply chain risk; and ensuring contract terms allow for modification if regulation or tech changes. A thorough, risk-aware approach helps leaders separate fashion from functionality and secure durable AI value.

JPMorgan's Samik Chatterjee says investor sentiment is the strongest in a year, aided by a resilient Services segment and a shift of manufacturing to India and Vietnam reducing tariff risk. He argues the stock's upside now centers on iPhone 17 demand and the foldable iPhone within the iPhone 18 lineup, supported by a multi-year product cycle that could drive margin expansion and earnings upgrades. Chatterjee projects high single-digit revenue growth in Q4'25 and Q1'26, with Q4 revenue around $103B and EPS $1.81, above consensus. A stronger cycle and tariff relief could lift the stock multiple.

October 29, 2025, 2:44 AM EDT. Samsung's Exynos 2600 flagship is allegedly built on a 2nm process, potentially giving it the edge over Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Rumors now suggest Qualcomm's next flagship, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, could arrive on a TSMC 2nm N2P node, putting it on par with Samsung and promising a ~5% performance uplift. If true, Qualcomm might power Galaxy S27 devices with the Gen 6, while the current Galaxy S26 could ride the Gen 5 on TSMC 3nm. The discussion also points to LPDDR6 memory and UFS 5.0 storage being supported, signaling a costly, high-end SoC path. As always, these claims should be treated as early rumors until official confirmations surface.
