## Summary

US technology shares plunged in a sharp sell-off following Democratic victories in the US elections, with investors reportedly concerned that the result could bring tighter regulation of artificial intelligence. More than $2 trillion in US stock value was said to have disappeared shortly after markets opened, renewing concern about the scale and stability of investment in AI.

The article reports a $3.46 trillion loss in AI stock market value during October and says Nvidia, Intel, Tesla and AMD were among the companies hit. At the time of publication, it lists the Nasdaq down 5.20%, the S&P 500 down 4.07% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 3.28%; it also cites reported falls of more than 18% in the implied valuations of Anthropic and OpenAI. The sell-off could be a market overreaction, the article says, while noting that fears of a broader economic impact remain.
