AP News NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are dropping Thursday as the market splits further between perceived losers and winners from the rush into artificial-intelligence technology.

AP News CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — Federica Brignone tilted her head up toward the sky and watched the Italian Air Force’s acrobatic unit leave behind a trail of the country’s colors amid the jagged peaks of the Dolomites as the sun finally peeked through the clouds of what had been a gray day at the Milan Cortina Olympics.
