the fight to be the world's most valuable company heats up, after apple announces new ai tools on its devices. and as smartphones get smarter — can you survive without one? we put a group of teenagers to the test. hello and welcome to business today. apple shares have surged to a record high, after it unveiled new ai tools. the tech giant is now valued at $3.18 trillion just behind microsoft, which remains the world's most valuable company. from new york, erin delmore has the details. have been waiting for months to

see how investors who embrace ai see how investors who embrace al to see how investors who embrace alto big market gains. on monday, they got their answer — a partnership with openai and some ai generated images and emojis. but even though the news came on monday, it wasn't until tuesday that the market rewarded apple's efforts. on monday, apple shares actually opened down around 2%. but on tuesday, shares ended the day up tuesday, shares ended the day up 5% to around $203 per share. that's a new record high for apple — besting the previous high we saw in december. see, those new ai tools are only available on newer models of apple products, like the iphone 15pro, the 1a series and older won't do it. neither will the base model iphone 15. and ipads and base model iphone15. and ipads and macs will need to have apple's m1 chip or newer. investors are betting that

consumers will upgrade their devices to take advantage of the new tools, which would lead to more sales for apple. staying with al investments. shares in oracle havejumped by as much as 11 percent after it announced cloud deals with google and openai. it comes despite the software giant's fourth—quarter results falling short of expectations. oracle is trying to catch up with cloud giants like microsoft who are seeing rapid growth as a result of tie ups with openai. elon musk has withdrawn a lawsuit against the maker of chatgpt, open ai. the case accused ceo sam altman of abandoning the start—up�*s original mission of developing artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity, and not for profit. no reason was given for the request to dismiss. policymakers at the us central bank are in session to decide on the cost of borrowing. the fed is expected to hold interest rates steady. inflation data is also due and the question is if it could that sway the fed's

rate cut decision. david chao, global market strategist at invesco says asian countries are in a good position to deal with any decision. well, we've seen some deappreciatiating pressures in places like japan with their currency, given the interest rate deferential. and certainly, all centre banks are waiting for the fed to cut rates. but at the same time, i think that asian economies are much better this time around with their external buffers that can with some of the pressure. but certainly, rates are too high in asia in places like korea and thailand. and they should have been cut already. if it wasn't for the fed. ~ ., ., ., fed. we are counting down to the us presidential— fed. we are counting down to the us presidential electionsl the us presidential elections and i wanted to get your thoughts on this as well. how do you think, given the political scenario there — how do you think that the politics

are likely to play out on the economics going forward? well, from a markets _ economics going forward? well, from a markets perspective, - from a markets perspective, we've done regression analysis, and there is no rhyme or reason in terms of if a democrat president or republican president or republican president is in the white house, and what that means for asian markets. asian markets have largely shrugged this off. so let me just say that, heading into the presidential election, there could be a few jitters with asian markets. but we think that it is mostly a near—term phenomena. certainly, president trump has previously said that he's going to increase tariffs against places like china, and also other places in and around the world that would certainly not be conducive to trade. whereas president biden has shown that he's more strategic when it comes to trading partners. so i think that it is something that we're keeping a close eye on, but we're not worried from a

long—term perspective and in terms of the impact that it will have on asian markets. india will continue to be the world's fastest—growing large economy, according to the world bank. the world's most populous nation is in the midst of a slowdown but is forecast to grow by 6.6% this year. the world bank says indonesia and vietnam are also likely to be bright spots among major economies in asia. singapore airlines has sent compensation offers to passengers on a flight last month that ran into severe turbulence. dozens of passengers were injured and one person died. passengers with minor injuries have been offered $10,000 while those with serious injuries have been told their needs can be discussed. so, how common is this? i put that question to ellis taylor from consultancy cirium. it is an unusual circumstance. and i guess, to give singapore airlines their credit — they've been very proactive and putting out very generous compensation

there. it is one of these things where if you are in a major incident, that there is set compensation that's there. but what we're seeing is that with a lot of these larger airlines, they will top—up on what are the set amounts in this. and in this case, singapore airlines has had form when there's been accidents to give pay—outs also and above the limits. so it could be something that we'll start to see a bit more on. we something that we'll start to see a bit more on.— see a bit more on. we are hearing — see a bit more on. we are hearing that _ see a bit more on. we are hearing that turbulence i see a bit more on. we are hearing that turbulence is | hearing that turbulence is going to be more common going forward given climate change and other aspects. does this set a precedent? we know that sing apore has —— singapore airlines has deeper pockets. but what about other airlines? can they do the same? it but what about other airlines? can they do the same?- can they do the same? it will come down — can they do the same? it will come down to _ can they do the same? it will come down to when - can they do the same? it will come down to when other - come down to when other airlines give more generous payments for an accident, it really does raise the bench mark and become something that globally, the industry works towards. so i think that we will see these payments become a little bit more normalised

and a bit more generous compared to what you may have thought of before. but really, it will depepped on how isolated these incidents are. the opposite may also happen if severe turbulence happens more often that airlines may look to reduce the paints just because it becomes a little bit more part of what's involved in travelling. how long can you last without your smartphone? a few hours? a day? well, the bbc�*s kristian johnson followed a group of british teenagers to see how they cope without their smartphones for five whole days. it's fair to say some teenagers are pretty glued to their phones. ok, guys, point of no return. thank you. but this group of students are doing the unthinkable, locking them away for almost a week. you said your goodbye. yes. no tik—tok. no snapchat. no whatsapp. so, guys, these are your new mobile phone instead that we're using these
