Key Terms

artificial intelligence technical

Artificial intelligence is the ability of computers and machines to perform tasks that typically require human thinking, such as understanding language, recognizing patterns, or making decisions. For investors, it matters because AI can enhance efficiency, uncover new insights, and enable smarter strategies, potentially impacting the value and performance of companies that develop or utilize this technology.

regulatory approval regulatory

Regulatory approval is the official permission given by government agencies or authorities that allows a product, service, or business activity to be legally operated or sold. It is important to investors because receiving approval often indicates that a product has been reviewed for safety and compliance, which can influence its success and the company’s prospects in the market. Without this approval, launching or selling certain products may be restricted or prohibited.
