hello and welcome to business today. i'm arunoday mukharji. a moment of reckoning for boeing as an iconic american manufacturer comes under tense questioning from members of a us senate subcommittee. boeing's outgoing ceo, dave calhoun, responded to questions about boeing's path forward after a string of safety failures, production problems, and whistle—blower accounts. our north america business correspondent erin delmore has all the details. tuesday's hearing, dave calhoun was confronted by senators with boeing safety failures and confronted by families with the loss of life those safety failures caused. when two boeing jets crashed five years ago killing 346 people. he spoke directly to those who lost loved ones. you make i apologise for the grief that we

evasive. the one phrase i think senatorjohn used that really resonated was root cause. and it was on the part of the ceo, dave calhoun to actually look and consider the root cause of how this disintegration in the connections between management and the people who come well, build and design aeroplanes happened. build and design aeroplanes happened-— build and design aeroplanes happened. build and design aeroplanes ha ened. ., ., .,, happened. you mentioned it was tense, something _ happened. you mentioned it was tense, something we _ happened. you mentioned it was tense, something we been - tense, something we been reporting on his welcome of families present at the hearing, even instances where they yelled at the ceo. how would you say the public is looking at boeing and what is the company doing to try and build trust?— build trust? frankly, little, to be honest. _ build trust? frankly, little, to be honest. what - build trust? frankly, little, to be honest. what they i build trust? frankly, little, - to be honest. what they simply need is a new management team, and thankfully dave calhoun is stepping down. this was kind of a scenario frankly and management. and what needs to happen is someone needs to come in who is intermittently familiar with that and the manufacturer of aircraft. you

know? and the legendary ceo back of the commercial unit back of the commercial unit back a couple of decades ago who later went on to be ceo of ford, someone of his stature to be able to provide leadership and explain to the american people what went wrong, what were the root causes, what took place, i think would be transformational, but until that happens, you are just going to see more of this evasiveness and random procedural changes. sticking with the us — software company and artificial initelligence darling nvidia, has overtaken microsoft to become the world's most valuable publicly traded company. it's stock rose 3.5% overnight, giving it a market valuation of $3.34 trillion — which is higher than both microsoft and apple. nvidia makes computer chips needed for artificial intelligence software, and demand for its products has boosted its sales and profits over the last few years. artificial intelligence was also a big focus at the g7 summit last week.

the group of the world's largest advanced economies is still in the midst of creating a framework to regulate a—i. there are concerns surrounding the technology. earlier this week, the international monetary fund said it had "profound concerns" about the impact of generative ai onjobs and inequality. i spoke with the president and chief executive of the information technology industry council, jason oxman — who gave us his outlook for al and nvidia. it's an exciting day for shareholders and those technology the broader question is what does this say about our excitement for al? clearly artificial intelligence is going to be the generational change in technology across a variety of industries. it's keen to focus on what it means for the technology industry and obviously it's important for tech because it's enabler of ai but ai is really a game changer for all industries. and i think that's why you are seeing

excitement about the companies that are involved in the ecosystem.— that are involved in the ecos stem. , . ecosystem. there is excitement, went back _ ecosystem. there is excitement, went back to _ ecosystem. there is excitement, went back to the _ ecosystem. there is excitement, went back to the g7 _ ecosystem. there is excitement, went back to the g7 summit - ecosystem. there is excitement, went back to the g7 summit and | went back to the g7 summit and what you heard. how would you say some of the announcements are resonating with the company �*s? it are resonating with the company 's? , , , ., , 's? it is very positive development. - 's? it is very positive development. the i 's? it is very positive - development. the hiroshima accord, which is really looking at a global regulatory approach to ai really ensures that the bee don't have country specific approaches, that we take a risk—based approach to ensure the technology can be deployed safely and effectively to the benefit of all. and the advantage of having the g7 look at it and working with the oa cd to include more countries than just the seven that are involved there, the advantage is really that we take a risk—based approach, what that means is we look at the technology and ensure it is being put to good use. we have guidelines in place to ensure that consumers are protected, but we make sure that we don't have geographic specific approaches that might hinder the development and the effective deployment of ai technologies.— effective deployment of ai technologies. and impact the innovativeness _ technologies. and impact the innovativeness as _ technologies. and impact the innovativeness as companies| innovativeness as companies said before. what kind of progress are you seeing in

applying supply chains. returning from vietnam to talk about how the economies can really provide an opportunity for diversification of supply chains. tariff is not a good policy and we do need to protect national security but we need to make sure also that supply chains are diverse across ai. now to india where google has announced it is launching its gemini ai app for android devices. the artificial intelligence assistant which was unveiled in december 2023 was so far available only in select regions like the us. the bbc�*s nikhil inamdar as more on the launch. welcome of this announcement was made in a tweet who called it an exciting development and said the app will be available in english and nine other locally linkage, including bengali and hindu among others. along with the some of the company is also ruling out a facility that will allow indian

users to chat with gemini and google messages. gemini allows users to get help through a range of tasks from writing texts to getting instructions for things such as changing a car tire, for instance. google is also adding support for indian languages to its advanced version, which can undertake complex data analytics and visualisation and also helps users upload large 1500 page documents. google will compete with open ai's chat gpt in india. gemini has been involved in a controversy recently in the country and had toissue recently in the country and had to issue an apology to the indian government after the ai platform returned controversial search results about the prime minister. his government is now set to be mulling a new law to regulate the technology. before we go — fast food giant mcdonald's has announced that it will remove an ordering system powered by a—i

from its drive—through restaurants in the us. the automated system has proved unreliable, resulting in some comically misinterpreted orders. one customer's receipt said they'd ordered ice cream topped with bacon, while another listed a request for hundreds of dollars worth of chicken nuggets. mcdonald's said the technology would be removed from more than one—hundred restaurants by the end ofjuly. and that's it for this edition of business today. thanks for watching. much more in all of those stories on the business segment on the bbc news website.
