Welcome to Monday, folks. I''m Michael Cogley, a senior editor on the startups and venture capital team in London. Apple may not be the first mover in the generative AI space, but it is still well-placed to benefit from its surging popularity. The company''s tax on AI inventions has already begun thanks to the launch of OpenAI''s ChatGPT iPhone app last week. The Cupertino-based tech giant is taking its usual 30% cut from users signing up to ChatGPT Plus through the app, according to a note from Bernstein analysts. That cut is unlikely to satiate Apple''s appetite, however. The company has restricted the use of ChatGPT for some of its employees to prevent any leaks while it works on its products based on the breakthrough tech. But before then, let''s get on with the day''s tech news. If this was forwarded to you, sign up here . Download Insider''s app here. 1.

I’ve long been upbeat on green energy stocks in general and renewable stocks in particular. With the world’s largest governments tremendously backing the switch to renewable energy and the electric-vehicle revolution greatly increasing the electricity demand, it was obvious to me that the best renewable names would be very high-reward stocks. Earlier this year, my belief in that thesis increased. That’s because one of the world’s most successful investors, multi-billionaire Steve Cohen, revealed that he had acquired large stakes in two solar energy companies — SunRun (NASDAQ: RUN ) and SolarEdge (NASDAQ: SEDG ). And interestingly, according to fintel.io , many large institutional investors have also recently acquired stakes in another solar energy company, First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR ). For example, on May 15, Royal London Asset Management reported that it had acquired nearly 35,000 shares of FSLR in the first quarter. Also on May 15, AllianceBernstein reported tha t it had bought 40,655 shares of FSLR in Q1.

Aditya Chopra isn’t looking for a new job, but recruiters keep calling him anyway. The 36-year-old data-science specialist works in artificial intelligence, perhaps the most coveted experience on the planet after OpenAI demonstrated the breakthroughs of ChatGPT. Chopra, who works outside of New Delhi, sees friends in the field get pay hikes of 35% to 50% each time they switch jobs. “There’s a real shortage of data and AI talent,” he said.An AI hiring frenzy is ricocheting around the world, from Silicon Valley to Europe, Asia and beyond. While tech giants like Google and Baidu Inc. dangle top-notch packages for the engineers to build their own AI engines, companies in almost every other field — from health care and finance to entertainment — are staffing up too, to avoid getting blindsided by shifts in their industries.India, perhaps more than any other country, illustrates how the rush for talent is outstripping supply. The country of 1.4 billion people has long been the back office for the tech industry, a source of reinforcements for any emergency.

NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / May 1, 2023 / Social issues are perhaps the most difficult to research and least understood by investors with an environmental, social and governance (ESG) focus. But the risks and opportunities they represent are growing, and investors need a way to step up to the challenge. From modern slavery to female representation in the workforce, companies are plagued by a growing list of social concerns. These issues account for a higher proportion of corporate controversies than environmental and governance issues ( Display ). Yet ESG-focused investors, who have become increasingly systematic and sophisticated in incorporating environmental and governance factors into investment decisions, don''t have similarly robust processes for addressing social factors. Why Social Data Lags Tighter regulation and quasi-government scrutiny of "E" and "G" issues have prompted dramatic data improvements in these areas. Now, official interest in social issues is increasing. This may help redress the information imbalance, in which the availability of data for social factors remains relatively low compared to "E" and "G" ( Display ).

Meta shareholders are becoming frustrated with Mark Zuckerberg''s plans, Financial Times reported. Investors expressed their anger in meetings with Meta executives over the past week, per FT. Meta''s shares plunged after its quarterly earnings report showed Zuckerberg was doubling down. Many Meta investors aren''t happy with Mark Zuckerberg''s plans for the metaverse as the social media company''s stock continues to plunge, Financial Times reported. The company has shed over 70% of its value since the Facebook cofounder first announced its parent company was changing its name to Meta in a pivot toward focusing on building a metaverse. Last week, Meta shares plummeted 24% after the company missed earnings targets and Zuckerberg said he intents to spend billions more on the metaverse project in the coming year. The CEO has already dumped $15 billion into the project this year alone. "If any other company had done this you''d have activist investors writing letters, proposing alternative slates of directors, demanding change," Jim Tierney, chief funding officer for US development at Meta shareholder AllianceBernstein, told FT. "I think Mark heard crystal clear what investors wanted.
