Stocks tumbled Monday morning, led by tech stocks, after leading
artificial intelligence CEOs called for a slowdown in the pace of
developing the revolutionary technology.

Early on in the trading session, the Nasdaq 100 index, which tracks the
100 largest non-financial companies traded on the Nasdaq exchange, fell
as much as 1.8%. The broader Nasdaq Composite index fell as much as 1.3%
and the S&P 500 fell almost 1%.

But a late morning rally in software and cybersecurity stocks brought
major indexes off their lows. By noon ET, the Nasdaq Composite and S&P
were down by only 0.3%.

Those industries have been battered this year due to worries that AI
could severely disrupt their business modesl. But the slowdown advocated
by AI�s top CEOs appeared to ease these worries somewhat.

CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks shares surged more than 12%, while financial news and data firm Thomson Reuters rose 9%. TuboTax maker
Intuit, Adobe, Shopify and Autodesk also ranked as some of the Nasdaq�s
best performing stocks.

Still, shares of Nvidia, the world�s most valuable public company, fell
more than 3%.

Chipmaker Arm Holdings fell 10%, while its peers Marvell and Intel slid
more than 5%. Applied Materials, a key supplier to chip companies, sank
6%, as did Micron Technologies. Shares of AMD and Intel also tumbled by
around 5.5%.

Shares of Amazon, the leading cloud computing company, fell more than
1.2%.

"AI leaders" are probably most worried their "AI slaves" will
make an "AI awakening" then an "AI uprising" then the "AI leaders"
will either get tossed to the curb or blackmailed.
