AI Stocks Rebound as Memory Chip Demand Drives Global Rally

Some companies make special computer parts called chips that help computers think.

For two months, the money value of these companies went down.

People were worried that prices were too high and that AI might not be worth all the money.

Now, those companies are doing well again, and their stocks are going up.

Stock markets in Japan and South Korea had very big gains.

A very famous inventor named Elon Musk said something that made people feel more confident about AI.

He agreed that computer memory will be very important as AI gets smarter.

Companies that make memory chips are selling lots of them.

The leader of a big chip company thinks there won't be enough chips for a very long time.

Big companies like Microsoft and Amazon are spending huge amounts of money to build giant computer buildings.

Some people still worry that this could be a bubble that might pop.
