China has launched a new AI Experts Committee to influence artificial intelligence&#8217;s global development and governance as part of its broader strategy. 
The committee was announced during the four-day World Internet Conference, also known as the Wuzhen Summit, held in Zhejiang province, China.
The AI Experts Committee will be led by Wang Jian, founder of Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) Alibaba Cloud, who was named chief expert, SCMP <a href="https://www.scmp.com/tech/tech-trends/article/3287593/wuzhen-summit-china-creates-ai-advisory-body-alibaba-cloud-founder-chief-expert" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

The committee includes approximately 170 specialists, featuring prominent figures such as British computer scientist Wendy Hall, Vienna University of Technology professor Schahram Dustdar and Chinese-American scientist Zhang Ya-qin of Tsinghua University.
Representatives from U.S. firms, including chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), are also members.
The committee aims to enhance international collaboration and promote China&#8217;s perspective on responsible AI governance. This initiative mirrors Beijing&#8217;s approach to influencing global standards, similar to its efforts in shaping 4G and 5G mobile technologies. 
Panel discussions at the Wuzhen Summit focused on AI innovation, governance, and its potential to empower productivity across industries.
At the summit, Eddie Wu Yongming, CEO of Alibaba Group Holding, emphasized AI could transform productivity across various sectors, forming what he described as a &#8220;superintelligent body.&#8221; Meanwhile, Xiaomi founder Lei Jun shared plans to launch an intelligent-driving application by year-end, aligning with the company&#8217;s &#8220;All in AI&#8221; strategy. Ant Group CEO Eric Jing Xiandong underscored AI&#8217;s potential for personalization in services while emphasizing responsible risk management.
The formation of this committee highlights China&#8217;s commitment to taking a leading role in global AI governance, even as it faces trade restrictions from the U.S. government. This effort aligns with Beijing&#8217;s broader ambitions to remain competitive in advanced technologies.
China has been actively involved in boosting its AI semiconductor base after the U.S. imposed sanctions on advanced AI chip exports to the country, restricting it from advanced technologies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42116366/taiwan-semiconductor-plans-new-factories-annually-boosting-domestic-chip-production" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">from companies like</a> NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>).

China Unveils Global AI Governance Committee With Alibaba Cloud Founder At The Helm

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) stock remained largely unchanged this week as investors digested NVIDIA Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/earnings-beats/24/11/42121215/nvidia-post-earnings-jitters-can-nvda-stock-regain-its-ai-fueled-momentum">third-quarter earnings report</a>.
Nvidia, AMD&#8217;s key competitor in high-performance GPUs and AI hardware, posted solid third-quarter results that beat analyst expectations. However, its guidance for the fourth quarter dampened enthusiasm, leaving some investors cautious about the short-term outlook.
What To Know: Analysts praised Nvidia's performance, noting strong AI demand and a robust product pipeline, particularly around its next-generation Blackwell architecture. 
Cantor Fitzgerald and Piper Sandler analysts emphasized that the Blackwell ramp is outpacing initial expectations, and demand continues to outstrip supply. Despite this, Nvidia's guidance for fourth quarter gross margins and revenue fell short of lofty investor expectations, triggering some profit-taking.

For AMD, the lack of significant movement in its stock price reflects the lingering uncertainty in the sector. While Nvidia solidifies its dominance in AI hardware, AMD has been making inroads with its MI300 chips, targeting similar data center and AI workloads. Investors appear to be awaiting clearer signs of market share gains or a breakout moment for AMD in the competitive AI space.
Nvidia's results serve as a bellwether for the broader semiconductor industry, and the mixed reactions highlight investor sensitivity to future growth prospects amidst a year of outsized gains for AI-related stocks. 
With AMD and Nvidia navigating a rapidly evolving landscape, all eyes remain on product launches and guidance updates in early 2025.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy AMD Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Advanced Micro Devices&#8217; case, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, AMD has a 52-week high of $227.30 and a 52-week low of $116.37.

10 Information Technology Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) shares are trading lower by 1.4% to $137.48 during Wednesday&#8217;s session. NVIDIA Corp&#8217;s earnings report Wednesday evening is poised to have a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42068962/nvidia-q3-earnings-preview-analysts-expect-beat-n-raise-on-continued-data-center-strength">significant impact</a> on Advanced Micro Devices, as the two companies compete directly in high-performance computing and AI accelerators. 
What To Know: While Nvidia dominates the AI chip market, AMD has been ramping up its efforts to challenge that dominance with its MI300 series accelerators and EPYC processors, which target AI and data center applications.
A strong Nvidia report could benefit AMD indirectly by affirming continued robust demand for AI infrastructure and high-performance computing. Such results would validate AMD's strategic investments in AI-focused products, fueling optimism around its ability to capture market share in a rapidly expanding sector.

However, if Nvidia's results or guidance signal a slowdown in AI-related spending, AMD could face headwinds, especially as it seeks to gain traction in a market already dominated by Nvidia. Slower adoption of AI hardware could delay the payoff for AMD's ambitious roadmap, which relies on its ability to penetrate data center and AI workloads dominated by its rival.
AMD also risks unfavorable comparisons during this critical earnings season. Nvidia's efficiency in scaling AI solutions highlights the steep challenge AMD faces in winning over customers and optimizing its own supply chain for large-scale deployments.
With Nvidia's results <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42048963/why-nvidia-earnings-may-trigger-massive-sp-500-volatility">expected to ripple</a> through the semiconductor industry, AMD's stock could see heightened volatility as investors reassess growth prospects across the sector.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is AMD A Good Stock To Buy?</h2>
An investor can make a few decisions when deciding whether a stock is a good buy. In addition to valuation metrics and price action which you can find on Benzinga's quote pages &#8211; like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMD">Advanced Micro Devices</a>&#8216;s page for example &#8211; there are factors like whether or not a company pays a dividend or buys a large portion of its stock each quarter.
These are known as capital allocation programs. Advanced Micro Devices does not pay a dividend, but obviously has a few ways it can return value to shareholders. Feel free to search Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/dividends">dividend calendar</a> for the next company that is due to pay a dividend and determine what kind of yield you can earn for holding a share of the company.
For example, if you're looking to earn an annualized return of 41.97%, you'll need to buy a share of ZIM Integrated Shipping by the Dec. 2, 2024. Once done, you can expect to receive a nominal payout of $2.81 on Dec. 9, 2024.
Buyback programs are obviously different and highly variable. A company can approve a buyback program and purchase shares as it sees fit over the course of time in which the buyback was authorized. Looking through the latest news on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMD">Advanced Micro Devices</a> will often yield whether or not the company has approved a buyback program recently. Buyback programs usually serve as a support for share prices, serving as a backstop for demand.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, AMD has a 52-week high of $227.30 and a 52-week low of $116.37.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, <a href="http://www.amd.com/">AMD</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) announced the following events for the financial community:
<ul>
<li>Forrest Norrod, executive vice president and general manager, Data Center Solutions Business Unit, will attend the UBS Annual Technology Conference on Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2024, at 12:15 PM MST.</li>
<li>Jean Hu, executive vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer, will attend the Barclays Global TMT Conference on Thursday, Dec. 12, 2024, at 11:00 AM PST.</li>
</ul>

AMD Announces Participation In UBS Annual Technology Conference On Dec. 3 And Barclays Global TMT Conference On Dec. 12, Featuring Key Executives Forrest Norrod And Jean Hu

NVIDIA Corp&#8217;s earnings report <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42048963/why-nvidia-earnings-may-trigger-massive-sp-500-volatility">Wednesday after-hours</a> could have large implications for Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), a key competitor in the semiconductor space and a rising player in AI hardware. 
Nvidia's dominance in AI chips has set the market's standard, and its performance may either validate or challenge AMD's strategic push into this lucrative area.
What To Know: AMD has been aggressively targeting the AI accelerator market, launching its MI300 series chips aimed at competing with Nvidia's market-leading GPUs. 
A strong Nvidia report, highlighting continued AI demand and robust sales, could bode well for AMD by reinforcing confidence in the sector's growth potential. This would bolster expectations for AMD's forthcoming AI products and validate the company's investments in next-generation AI technologies.
However, a disappointing Nvidia report could raise concerns about market saturation or slowing AI investments, potentially dampening enthusiasm for AMD's own growth narrative. Investors will be particularly attuned to Nvidia's guidance on demand for AI infrastructure, as it directly impacts the opportunity space AMD is trying to penetrate.

AMD also faces the risk of unfavorable comparisons. Nvidia's dominant market share and ability to scale its AI solutions more efficiently may highlight challenges AMD could face in gaining meaningful traction against its rival. 
With Nvidia options pricing in significant volatility, AMD's stock could see sympathetic moves as investors reassess AI-related growth across the semiconductor industry.
For AMD, Nvidia's results are not just a benchmark but a critical signal for its trajectory in the competitive AI chip race.
What Else: AMD shares rose Monday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/42045498/whats-going-on-with-advanced-micro-devices-stock-monday">following its collaboration with IBM</a> to integrate AMD Instinct MI300X accelerators into IBM Cloud, enhancing performance for generative AI and enterprise computing and supporting platforms like Watsonx AI and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
The accelerators, set for release in 2025, aim to help enterprise clients optimize costs and scalability for AI applications.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is AMD A Good Stock To Buy?</h2>
Wall Street analysts view Advanced Micro Devices on the whole as an Outperform, given the history of coverage over the past three months. Harsh Kumar from Piper Sandler in Advanced Micro Devices is the most optimistic, expecting a 14.29% rise in the stock in the coming year.
But looking at how the market as a whole thinks of the stock, you can reference historical price action for views on whether investors feel strongly about the stock one way or another. In the past 3 months, Advanced Micro Devices fell 12.95%, which indicates that opinion soured on the business and how attractive it is to own based on either its stock price, or underlying fundamentals, like revenue, which rose 17.57% over the past year.

How To Buy Advanced Micro Devices Stock
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Advanced Micro Devices &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so.
In the case of Advanced Micro Devices, which is trading at $139.49 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 0.72 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
