On Sunday, President-elect Donald Trump picked pro-Starlink Republican Brendan Carr as chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC.
What Happened: &#8220;Commissioner Carr is a warrior for Free Speech, and has fought against the regulatory Lawfare that has stifled Americans&#8217; Freedoms, and held back our Economy. He will end the regulatory onslaught that has been crippling America&#8217;s Job Creators and Innovators, and ensure that the FCC delivers for rural America,&#8221; Trump wrote in his statement. 
Carr, a vocal critic of big tech companies, wrote on X that he is &#8220;humbled and noted&#8221; to take on the role.

<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Thank you, President Trump! I am humbled and honored to serve as Chairman of the FCC. Now we get to work. &#x1f1fa;&#x1f1f8; <a href="https://t.co/MPyL2d38kT">pic.twitter.com/MPyL2d38kT</a>
&mdash; Brendan Carr (@BrendanCarrFCC) <a href="https://twitter.com/BrendanCarrFCC/status/1858311955024400868?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 18, 2024</a></blockquote>

Carr wrote last week that &#8220;Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft, and others have played central roles in the censorship cartel,&#8221; adding that they must be &#8220;dismantled.&#8221;
Carr currently serves as the senior Republican on the FCC. The FCC is an independent U.S. government agency overseen by Congress and regulates interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories. 
Jessica Rosenworcel currently serves as the Chairperson of the Commission. 
Why It Matters: Carr is a strong supporter of Musk&#8217;s Starlink. He staunchly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40672229/starlink-ineligible-for-nearly-900m-in-subsidies-says-fcc-spacex-ceo-elon-musk-says-it-is-flat-out-l">opposed the FCC&#8217;s decision not to offer nearly $900 million in subsidies to Starlink</a> alleging that the FCC had added itself to the growing list of administrative agencies taking action against Musk's businesses following the billionaire's acquisition of Twitter (now X) on the instructions of President Joe Biden. 
Carr also said on Monday that the FCC will stop promoting Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEI) initiatives.
&#8220;The FCC's most recent budget request said that promoting DEI was the agency's second-highest strategic goal. Starting next year, the FCC will end its promotion of DEI,&#8221; he wrote on X. 
Musk is also staunchly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38064076/mark-cuban-vows-to-defend-deis-positive-impact-on-business-because-they-are-opposite-of-elon-musk-an">opposed to DEI programs</a>, terming them &#8220;racist.&#8221; Musk regards preference for certain sections of the population in DEI programs as &#8220;racism&#8221; towards the majority white population.

Renowned tech investor and Palantir Technologies&#8217; co-founder&nbsp;Peter Thiel&nbsp;has made a daring prediction about the potential impact of President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/41902202/trumps-china-hawks-rumored-for-top-roles-yuan-hits-3-month-low">60% tariff on Chinese goods</a>.
What Happened: On Thursday, during an interview with The Free Press, Thiel suggested that such a tariff would be &#8220;very, very bad&#8221; for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/11/41912771/trump-presidency-magnificent-7-stock-impact-benzinga-readers-pick-tech-titan-at-most-risk-following-2024-election">Chinese companies</a> and China as a whole.
However, he believes the impact on American consumers would be &#8220;mildly negative&#8221; as manufacturing would likely shift away from China.
According to Thiel, shifting manufacturing from China to Vietnam would significantly harm China, and have only a minor impact on American consumers. From a geopolitical perspective, he argued, this move would align closely with American strategic interests.

Why It Matters: Earlier this year, Chinese stocks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/05/38782459/china-focused-etfs-have-become-political-footballs-in-us-as-investor-apprehension-leads-to-large-sca#google_vignette">experienced a notable rally</a>, pushing the SSE Composite Index in Shanghai to its highest point since September 2023.
However, Trump's proposed tariffs, which could reach as high as 60% on Chinese goods, along with additional import hikes on other nations, could disrupt these investments.
A day after Trump won, China-linked ETFs witnessed a sharp fall after rallying for nearly two months.

Peter Thiel Says Trump's 60% China Tariff Would Be 'Very, Very Bad' For Beijing, Here's What's At Stake

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is trading over 5% on Robinhood&#8217;s overnight trading service after a report on Sunday, suggested that the upcoming regulatory framework might ease mandates for self-driving vehicles. 
What Happened: The transition team of President-elect Donald Trump has told advisors that it aims to make a framework for fully self-driving vehicles a priority for the Transportation Department, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-17/trump-team-said-to-want-to-ease-us-rules-for-self-driving-cars">reported</a> Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter. 
Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently secured a position to lead the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in the Trump administration, supported federal rules for autonomous vehicles in Tesla&#8217;s third-quarter earnings call, saying he would use any role to push the government to allow autonomous vehicles to be used nationwide. 
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration allows automakers to deploy only 2,500 autonomous vehicles per year, while efforts to increase this number have repeatedly failed.

Why It Matters: In October, Musk unveiled Tesla&#8217;s long-awaited robotaxi, which aims to mass produce &#8216;Cybercabs&#8217; by 2026. Investors and market analysts are considering robotaxi&#8217;s success as a major factor for the company&#8217;s valuation, while some investors remain skeptical about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41444334/tesla-robotaxi-reveal-falls-flat-amid-lack-of-clarity-shifting-focus-back-on-elon-m">robotaxi&#8217;s success in regulatory approval</a>.

The Future Fund&nbsp;Managing Partner&nbsp;Gary Black has repeatedly voiced skepticism about&nbsp;Tesla maintaining a monopoly in the unsupervised autonomy market, citing competition from Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>)-backed Waymo, Baidu (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) and Mobileye Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MBLY#NASDAQ">MBLY</a>) who has already received approval to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40333845/gary-black-highlights-skepticism-over-teslas-autonomy-ambitions-amid-competition-fr">deploy their autonomous vehicles</a>.
Price Action: Tesla is trading 5.69% higher at $339 on Robinhood&#8217;s overnight trading service. The stock closed at $320.72 in a regular trading session on Friday, gaining 3.07% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock edged up 0.0062%.

Tesla Soars Over 5% In Overnight Trading As Trump Administration Reportedly Seeks To Ease FSD Norms

Gita Gopinath, Deputy Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, expressed concern over the increasing energy consumption and carbon footprint of cryptocurrency mining and AI data centers, expected to worsen in the next few years.
What Happened: In an X post on Sunday, Gopinath stated, citing IMF data, that the share of cryptocurrency mining and data centers in global electricity could rise to 3.5% by 2027 in a base case scenario, from 2% in 2022. This would equate to the current consumption of Japan, the world&#8217;s fifth-largest electricity user.
In the high-case scenario, the share could expand to nearly 6%, while the low-case scenario would see a slight increase to 2.2%.

&#8220;Bitcoin is the currency of freedom, a hedge against inflation for middle-class Americans, a remedy against the dollar's downgrade from the world's reserve currency, and the offramp from a ruinous national debt,&#8221; he said.
Kennedy also firmly endorsed Howard Lutnik for Treasury Secretary in the incoming Donald Trump administration, arguing that the Cantor Fitzgerald CEO would be a major advocate of Bitcoin.

Why It Matters: Kennedy Jr.&#8217;s advocacy for Bitcoin is not new. In July, during his presidential campaign, he expressed his intent to persuade the federal government <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/07/39976220/robert-kennedy-jr-proposes-bitcoin-purchase-to-match-us-gold-reserves-an-offramp-to-the-inflationary">to accumulate Bitcoin until its holdings equaled the nation&#8217;s gold reserves</a>.
Kennedy had earlier <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/39103888/robert-kennedy-jr-applauds-trumps-crypto-commitment-expresses-hope-for-bidens-alignment">voiced his conviction that cryptocurrency should be treated as a currency</a>, not taxed as capital gains, and used for everyday purchases.
Meanwhile, President-elect Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/24/11/42017583/trumps-go-wild-on-health-plan-puts-rfk-jr-in-charge-what-it-means-for-cannabis-and-psychedelics-reform">announced</a> that Kennedy would serve as the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), marking the inclusion of yet another pro-Bitcoin voice in the upcoming cabinet.

Robert Kennedy Jr. Calls Bitcoin The 'Currency of Freedom,' Backs Trump's Treasury Secretary Pick As Best For Crypto

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
The market rally is causing investors to become more and more aggressive recently, and I believe this trend could accelerate as the rally continues. Thus, it seems to be a good time to buy some speculative stocks. Sub-$1 <a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-types/penny-stocks/">penny stocks</a> are as speculative as you can get in the stock market. It&rsquo;s not enough for the stock to be listed on any major exchange, so we&rsquo;re almost dealing with pure pink sheets here, except for two stocks.



These companies have very little information about them available online and are rarely covered by analysts. Regardless, if these companies land big contracts or capture a good amount of market share in their sectors, you can easily realize 10,000%-plus gains from them in a short amount of time. The inverse is also true, so you should be very careful about what you&rsquo;re putting your money into. You&rsquo;ll only find lottery tickers below $1.



So, let&rsquo;s explore the seven sub-$1 penny stocks that may be worthy of consideration. 



<h2>NamSys (NMYSF)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/bonus-pay-money-300x169.jpg" alt="100 dollar bills being passed from one hand to the other. Can represent stimulus checks or payment. millionaire-maker stocks"><div>Source: Maryna Pleshkun/Shutterstock.com</div></div>NamSys Inc. (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nmysf-stock-quote/">NMYSF</a>) provides cloud-based cash management and currency processing software solutions, primarily serving the banking and retail sectors in North America. It has a SaaS business model, which is driving robust recurring revenue growth.



The company <a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/CTZ:CVE" target="_blank">reported total revenue of 1.66 million CAD</a> for the quarter, up an impressive 9.3% year-over-year (YOY). Notably, recurring revenue from software subscriptions, hosted services and product support surged 9.2% to 1.64 million CAD. Its flagship Cirreon Smart Safe platform is also very sticky and has little customer churn. Additionally, gross margins expanded by 1.8 percentage points to a healthy 63%.



While the stock has treaded water over the past five years, NamSys&rsquo; accelerating financial momentum could be the catalyst to propel shares significantly higher going forward.



<h2>MariaDB (MRDB)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/cloud1600c-300x169.jpg" alt="image of a cloud surrounded by various symbols related to internet connectivity and interaction"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>MariaDB (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/mrdb-stock-quote/">MRDB</a>) is a cutting-edge cloud database company providing businesses with an open-source relational database solution. MRDB&rsquo;s flagship product offers cross-cloud flexibility and universal accessibility that appeals to organizations of all sizes. Developers praise its intuitive design, adaptability and game-changing impact within the open-source domain. In fact, it&rsquo;s been <a href="https://mariadb.com/database-topics/mariadb-vs-mysql/" target="_blank">downloaded over one billion times to date</a> and has dethroned MySQL as the go-to in Linux distributions.



Despite a rocky five-year stock performance, MariaDB seems to be orchestrating an impressive turnaround in recent months. Shares have skyrocketed more than 100% year-to-date (YTD). So, if the company can sustain its current growth trajectory, this rally could still have plenty of runway ahead.



Admittedly, gaping losses have been MariaDB&rsquo;s Achilles heel in years past. However, management deserves kudos for slashing those deficits dramatically over the last three quarters. In Q1 of 2024, net losses <a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/MRDB:NYSE" target="_blank">narrowed</a> to $3.5 million from $17.6 million two quarters ago. Similarly, the operating cash burn was more than halved to $7.2 million.



Now, MariaDB is by no means out of the woods just yet. Liquidity concerns can&rsquo;t be brushed aside. But if the company continues executing on its streamlining initiatives while driving breakneck top-line expansion, MRDB could deliver big upside.



<h2>5G Networks (MLBEF)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/global-earth-connections-mapped-300x169.jpg" alt="Global network of map points"><div>Source: Blue Planet Studio/Shutterstock.com</div></div>While the &ldquo;5G&rdquo; in its name may confuse some investors, the company actually has no relation to the 5G cellular standard rollout by telcos. Instead, 5G Networks (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/mlbef-stock-quote/">MLBEF</a>) is determined to be the one-stop-shop for Oceania businesses&rsquo; entire cloud and connectivity needs. The <a href="https://5gnetworks.au/news/webcentral-and-5g-networks-agree-to-merge/" target="_blank">merger with Webcentral</a> has created Australia&rsquo;s largest independent provider in this space. It now commands over 330,000 customers.



<a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/5GN:ASX" target="_blank">Revenues were 96.1 million AUD</a>, which was basically flat for all of 2023. However, the company trimmed losses by 23.57%. I believe it has enough cash to handle losses until it turns profitable since the company is already giving cash back to shareholders. Also, 5G Networks has announced the cancellation of 816,123 of its ordinary fully paid shares following an on-market buy-back process concluded on June 28, 2024. It repurchased a total of 3,678,256 ordinary fully paid shares on the previous trading day. This is part of a larger cumulative buy-back of 20,943,629 shares to date, as <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/news/company-announcements/5g-networks-limited-continues-share-buy-back-4" target="_blank">reported by TipRanks</a>.



I personally think this is a bit premature, given the company hasn&rsquo;t achieved profitability yet. However, it is still promising.



<h2>Zoomd Technologies (ZMDTF)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/digital_marketing_16-300x169.png" alt="a photo of someone typing on a laptop on a wooden table with computer-related images"><div>Source: My Life Graphic/Shutterstock.com</div></div>Zoomd Technologies (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/zmdtf-stock-quote/">ZMDTF</a>) is a rising star in the marketing technology arena. Based on their latest earnings report, I believe this sub-$1 penny stock has the potential for explosive growth. The company&rsquo;s revenue <a href="https://zoomd.com/zoomd-technologies-reports-first-quarter-2024-financial-results/" target="_blank">increased by 16%</a> compared to the previous quarter, and profitability is finally within reach after six consecutive quarters of net losses.



Last year, management made tough but necessary strategic decisions to refocus the business. Those moves are clearly paying off. Operating profit surged nearly 950% quarter-over-quarter to $0.6 million. Adjusted EBITDA also skyrocketed by $1 million to reach $1.2 million. ZMDTF achieved this while keeping capital expenditures steady, showing an impressive ability to drive higher returns without overextending.



With a cash balance of $2.3 million and no long-term debt, Zoomd Technologies looks well-positioned to capitalize on the booming digital advertising market. Its unified user acquisition platform should see robust demand as more businesses shift ad dollars online.



<h2>OneMeta (ONEI)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/software1600d-300x169.jpg" alt="A man examines a digital screen with different icons for software."><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>OneMeta (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/onei-stock-quote/">ONEI</a>) aims to break down global communication barriers with AI-powered software. The company reported a tiny revenue of <a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/ONEI:OTCMKTS" target="_blank">$5,387 for the first quarter of 2024</a>, a 70% increase compared to the same period last year.



Despite the losses, I believe OneMeta holds good potential. Their flagship product transforms smartphones into personal translators. This technology could revolutionize international communication. In April 2024, they <a href="https://www.accesswire.com/856368/onemeta-begins-translation-services-for-the-archdiocese-of-oklahoma-city" target="_blank">began</a> providing translation services for the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City. Also, they claimed to have reduced translation and transcription speed to under 200 milliseconds.



However, you should keep the risks in mind. The company operates in a competitive space, with tech giants heavily investing in translation technologies.



Nonetheless, OneMeta&rsquo;s stock has surged 117% over the past year. If the company can effectively scale its services and show a clear roadmap to profitability, I believe OneMeta could become a major player in the global communication space.



<h2>Skkynet Cloud Systems (SKKY)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/cloud-computing-300x169.jpg" alt="an image of a cloud imprinted on a circuit board lit up by blue circuit lights. AVCT stock. cloud computing stocks"><div>Source: Blackboard / Shutterstock</div></div>Skkynet Cloud Systems (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/skky-stock-quote/">SKKY</a>) provides industrial companies with real-time data and cloud solutions. The market for these services is growing strongly due to the AI and machine learning boom. Startups like Skkynet Cloud Systems are well-positioned to benefit from this trend as more companies look to diversify their cloud operations beyond Big Tech providers.



In Q2 of fiscal year 2024, Skkynet&rsquo;s <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/filings/pdf/17621353" target="_blank">revenue increased 28% YOY to $601,806</a>. While still a small company, this growth is encouraging. However, losses did expand.



SKKY ended the quarter with $1.03 million in cash, up from $916,780 in October 2023. Its balance sheet looks clean, with minimal liabilities. Deferred revenue, a key indicator of future growth, stands at $372,451.



While still losing money, I&rsquo;m optimistic about the company&rsquo;s prospects in the fast-growing industrial cloud space. If it can continue scaling rapidly and win new enterprise contracts, we could see this sub-$1 stock deliver explosive returns in the coming years.



<h2>Global Mofy Metaverse (GMM)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/metaverse-1600-300x169.png" alt="Illustration of the metaverse. A young boy wearing a VR headset is in the metaverse."><div>Source: PopTika / Shutterstock</div></div>Global Mofy Metaverse Limited (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/gmm-stock-quote/">GMM</a>) is a technology solutions company focused on virtual content for the metaverse. While I see immense potential in this burgeoning industry, the metaverse remains a niche market that may be ahead of its time for mainstream adoption.



However, Global Mofy Metaverse&rsquo;s recent moves and financial results suggest it could be a pioneer in this space. The company&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.stocktitan.net/news/GMM/global-mofy-metaverse-launches-69-million-fund-with-strategic-rycf3kvnexo2.html" target="_blank">$69 million fund launch</a> could lead to aggressive growth.



Plus, I&rsquo;m optimistic about the partnership between GMM&rsquo;s subsidiary, Gauss AI, and Heartdub to develop a generative video AI platform, which could lead to something meaningful. Global Mofy Metaverse&rsquo;s record fiscal 2023 revenue of $26.9 million is pretty solid for a penny stock.



Regardless, the price is below Nasdaq&rsquo;s $1 minimum, so keep an eye out for a reverse split.



On Penny Stocks and Low-Volume Stocks:&#8239;With only the rarest exceptions, InvestorPlace does not publish commentary about companies that have a market cap of less than $100 million or trade less than 100,000 shares each day. That&rsquo;s because these &ldquo;penny stocks&rdquo; are frequently the playground for scam artists and market manipulators. If we ever do publish commentary on a low-volume stock that may be affected by our commentary, we demand that&#8239;InvestorPlace.com&rsquo;s writers disclose this fact and warn readers of the risks.

DeepL, a prominent artificial intelligence&nbsp;translation startup from Germany, introduced traditional Chinese as a new language option. This move aims to enhance its footprint in Asia.



What Happened: The Cologne-based company, valued at $2 billion, primarily targets businesses with its translation software. Traditional Chinese is widely used in Taiwan and Hong Kong, both significant hubs for technology and finance, which influenced DeepL&#8217;s decision to launch in these markets, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/24/deepl-ai-translation-firm-launches-traditional-chinese-language.html">reported</a> CNBC on Tuesday.



CEO Jaroslaw Kutylowski highlighted Taiwan and Hong Kong as &#8220;strong technological markets&#8221; and emphasized Taiwan&#8217;s role as a major exporter, particularly in the semiconductor industry.



This launch follows DeepL&#8217;s previous expansions into Asia, where it already supports Japanese and Korean languages. Kutylowski noted similarities between the Taiwanese market and other successful Asian markets like Japan and Korea.



DeepL&#8217;s traditional Chinese operations will initially be managed from Japan, with potential plans to establish a physical presence in Taiwan or Hong Kong in the future.



Last week, DeepL unveiled its next-generation large language model, claiming superior translation quality compared to OpenAI&#8216;s ChatGPT, Alphabet Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) subsidiary Google, and Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>). 



The company, backed by notable investors such as ICONIQ Growth, a fund from Mark Zuckerberg's family office and Index Ventures, aims to compete with major Chinese tech firms like Baidu Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) and Tencent Holdings. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>).

Kutylowski indicated that DeepL&#8217;s focus will remain on expanding its Asian language offerings, with more languages expected in the coming months. The company is also developing a spoken language translation product, although no launch timeline has been provided.



"Translation of spoken language is going to be an important part of our strategy in Asia. We will see more and more of that product being a revenue stream," Kutylowski said.



Why It Matters: DeepL&#8217;s expansion into traditional Chinese comes amid a growing trend of AI-powered translation technologies making significant strides. In October 2022, Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) launched an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/10/29336004/metas-new-ai-powered-translator-can-interpret-a-spoken-only-language-in-real-time">AI speech-to-speech translation</a> system for Hokkien, a primarily oral language. This innovation highlighted the potential of AI to bridge communication gaps in languages lacking a standard written form.



Furthermore, in May, OneMeta Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONEI#OTC">ONEI</a>) introduced advanced technology for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/partner/emerging-markets/24/05/39036872/onemetas-ai-transforms-global-communication-with-cutting-edge-translation-and-transcript">real-time translation</a> and transcription across multiple languages, showcasing the transformative power of AI in global communication.



China has also been active in the AI translation space. In May, the China Cyberspace Research Institute unveiled a large language model based on President Xi Jinping&#8216;s political philosophy. This model, still in testing, underscores <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/05/38956682/chatgpt-meet-xigpt-china-unveils-new-ai-model-that-speaks-xi-jinpings-thoughts-spouts-official-party">China&#8217;s commitment to integrating AI</a> with its political and social narratives.



Additionally, YouTube announced in June 2023 its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/06/32979839/lost-in-translation-youtubes-new-ai-dubbing-service-will-have-you-speaking-every-language-like-a-pro">AI-powered dubbing service</a>, aiming to simplify video dubbing in various languages. This initiative, part of Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s efforts, highlights the increasing role of AI in content creation and distribution.
