UBER – Uber executive says European taxis joining platform

Written by on May 29, 2023. Posted in Penny Stocks.

AMSTERDAM, May 29 (Reuters) – Uber (UBER.N) is seeing an influx of European taxi drivers joining its platform, an executive told Reuters, a surprising development given the history of tensions between the company and the traditional taxi industry.

In an interview, Uber’s Anabel Diaz, who oversees the company’s mobility (ride-sharing) business in EMEA, said business is strong in Europe despite lingering uncertainty about gig economy labour rules.

Europe, the Middle East and Africa “are growing fairly nicely with numbers that go from 10% to more than 50% growth in some of our geographies,” she said.

Uber’s biggest European markets are Britain, France, Germany and Spain.

These have “very solid business performance with a lot of innovation, including development of our taxi solution in all of those countries,” she said.

Uber says European taxi drivers’ usage of the app has doubled in the year ended April 30, from 5% to 10% of all rides. Taxi drivers who use the app consider it a supplement to their curb-side hailing business. All Uber trips must be booked online.

Conflict between taxis and Uber has lessened due to rules requiring private Uber drivers to have a commercial license.

Diaz said the company had initially struggled with staffing after the COVID-19 pandemic.

“But right now drivers are back on the platform in all-time high numbers, frankly globally, and that’s resulting in better service levels,” she said.

Uber reports only group-level figures for its traditional ride-sharing business and for its delivery service (Uber Eats) — each account for roughly half of sales. Europe accounted for $2.1 billion in group revenues in the three months ended March 31, about 24% of the company’s total, making it the company’s largest market outside the U.S.

Rules over when gig workers must be considered employees remain in flux in Europe, with different models in place in Spain, Germany and Britain. The E.U. countries will try to agree compromise rules at a meeting of the European Council in June.

Uber argues its drivers should be contractors. But “the reality is we will adapt …(and) business will find a way forward,” regardless, Diaz said.

NVDA – AI means everyone can now be a programmer, Nvidia chief says

Written by on May 29, 2023. Posted in Penny Stocks.

TAIPEI, May 29 (Reuters) – Artificial intelligence means everyone can now be a computer programmer as all they need to do is speak to the computer, Nvidia Corp (NVDA.O) CEO Jensen Huang said on Monday, hailing the end of the “digital divide”.

Nvidia has surged to become the world’s most valuable listed semiconductor company as a major supplier of chips and computing systems for artificial intelligence.

The company last week forecast second-quarter revenue more than 50% above Wall Street estimates and said it was boosting supply to meet surging demand for its artificial-intelligence chips, which are used to power ChatGPT and many similar services.

Speaking to thousands of people at the Computex forum in Taipei, Huang, who was born in southern Taiwan before his family emigrated to the United States when he was a child, said AI was leading a computing revolution.

“There’s no question we’re in a new computing era,” he said in a speech, occasionally dropping in words of Mandarin or Taiwanese to the delight of the crowd.

“Every single computing era you could do different things that weren’t possible before, and artificial intelligence certainly qualifies,” Huang added.

“The programming barrier is incredibly low. We have closed the digital divide. Everyone is a programmer now – you just have to say something to the computer,” he said.

“The rate of progress, because it’s so easy to use, is the reason why it’s growing so fast. This is going to touch literally every single industry.”

Nvidia’s chips have helped companies such as Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) add human-like chat features to search engines such as Bing.

Huang demonstrated what AI could do, including getting a programme to write a short pop song praising Nvidia with only a few words of instruction.

He unveiled several new applications, including a partnership with the world’s largest advertising group WPP (WPP.L) for generative AI-enabled content for digital advertising.

Nvidia has strained to meet demand for its AI chips, with Tesla Inc TSLA.O CEO Elon Musk, who is reportedly building out an artificial-intelligence startup, last week telling an interviewer that the graphics processing units (GPUs) are “considerably harder to get than drugs”.
