Shares in some firms involved in AI technology more than double in value as traders bet on massive growth in industry

Some stocks seen as AI winners – such as semiconductor makers and software developers – have more than doubled in value as traders bet on massive growth in the industry, even as fears mount over waves of job losses as everyday tasks become automated.
