Is AI an opportunity or a threat?
In recent weeks, artificial intelligence (AI) has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons, from AI agents 'going rogue' to Anthropic and OpenAI models hacking the Australian government. But these safety concerns are unlikely to slow spending – in fact, it could even accelerate investment in infrastructure, security and regulation, according to Jessica Inskip, director of investor research at StockBrokers.com, on the latest episode of MoneyWeek Talks. She discusses how investors can benefit from the AI boom through companies like Nvidia, Apple and IBM, and the impact of data centres on local economies.

What's driving the infrastructure boom?
Utilities and infrastructure used to be a sector typically associated with producing steady inflation-linked income, but not anymore. That’s according to Jean-Hugues de Lamaze, manager of the Ecofin Global Utilities and Infrastructure Trust, who said there is high demand for capital expenditure in listed infrastructure. Speaking on the latest episode of MoneyWeek Talks, de Lamaze said ageing infrastructure put in place post-World War Two was offering investors plenty of opportunities, while demand to power AI datacentres and electric vehicles is another reason why there are growth prospects in the sector.

Do you know the 'big three' money concepts?
Almost half of all adults in the UK struggle with financial literacy. Many do not understand the three key concepts – compounding returns, inflation, and risk. Without understanding these concepts, building financial independence becomes harder. Indeed the rising levels of young people not in education, employment or training can be linked back to poor numeracy skills in schools. That presents a “huge national challenge”, says Lizzie Gaisman, chief executive of The Richmond Project, a charity founded by former prime minister Rishi Sunak to champion numeracy.
