What Happened: After a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42609242/marques-brownlee-breaks-down-how-googles-ai-video-generator-veo2-outpaces-openais-sora">limited four-month preview</a>, Google has started expanding access to its Veo 2 text-to-video generator through the $20/month Gemini Advanced plan.
The tool lets users create 720p video clips up to eight seconds long using natural language prompts. Currently, Veo 2 supports only the 16:9 landscape format and generates MP4 files, which can be shared directly to TikTok or YouTube.
Powered by a large language model, Veo 2 can adapt to real-world physics and human motion, making it more advanced than earlier versions.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) disclosed her significant stock purchases made just before and on the day of President Donald Trump&#8216;s announcement to pause global tariffs. This announcement had a substantial impact on the stock market.
What Happened: Based on the information disclosed to the House, Greene bought stocks valued between $21,000 and $315,000 on April 8 and 9. On April 8, she also sold Treasury bills worth between $50,000 and $100,000, according to the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/members/marjorie-taylor-greene" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;Benzinga Government Trades tracker.</a>
Greene&#8217;s stock purchases included shares in several companies, such as&nbsp;Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), which has since appreciated by approximately 5%. She also invested in other tech firms, energy companies like&nbsp;Devon Energy Corporation&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVN#NYSE">DVN</a>), and pharmaceutical giant&nbsp;Merck &amp; Company&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>).
On April 8, Greene bought stocks in&nbsp;Palantir Technologies Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) and&nbsp;Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>). These transactions occurred&nbsp;as government bond yields were&nbsp;on the rise amidst the tariff turmoil.
Here's a look at the stocks Greene purchased during the period:

Why It Matters: Greene&#8217;s stock trades have raised eyebrows, especially considering the timing of her purchases. The trades coincided with former President Trump&#8217;s tariff pause announcement, which led to a significant surge in the stock market. 
This has led to calls for an investigation into potential insider trading related to President Trump&#8217;s market communications before the tariff pause announcement. Key Democratic lawmakers, including Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), have expressed concerns about possible corruption. Schiff and Warren pointed out a post on Truth Social where Trump<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44747573/adam-schiff-and-elizabeth-warren-call-for-investigation-into-possible-insider-trading-by-trump-allie"> encouraged buying stocks</a> just hours before the tariff pause announcement that sent markets soaring.
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York&nbsp;urged a ban on stock trading by members of Congress following the revelation of Ms. Greene's investment activities. He told <a href="https://jeffries.house.gov/2025/04/14/leader-jeffries-we-are-going-to-hold-republicans-accountable-for-any-effort-to-dismantle-social-security/">MSNBC </a>on Monday, "We obviously have to continue to highlight why this is problematic."

Shares of software companies are trading higher following President Trump's decision to implement a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China.

Jamie Dimon, CEO of&nbsp;JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), cautioned that the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump could trigger inflation and decelerate the U.S. economy.
What Happened: In his yearly letter to shareholders, Dimon discussed the implications of Trump&#8217;s tariff policy announced on April 2. He warned of potential short-term effects, including inflationary impacts on both imported and domestic goods, reported <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/07/jamie-dimon-trump-tariffs-inflation-economy.html?">CNBC</a>.&nbsp;&#8220;We are likely to see&nbsp;inflationary outcomes, not only on&nbsp;imported goods but on domestic&nbsp;prices, as input costs rise&nbsp;and demand increases on domestic&nbsp;products,&#8221; Dimon said.
Dimon expressed worries about the tariffs&#8217; potential to hinder economic growth.&nbsp;&#8220;Whether or not the menu&nbsp;of tariffs causes a recession&nbsp;remains in question, but it&nbsp;will slow down growth,&#8221; he&nbsp;stated.
Dimon also highlighted the uncertainties stemming from Trump&#8217;s tariff policy, such as its effects on global capital flows, the strength of the dollar, corporate earnings, and potential reactions from trading partners. He called for a swift resolution, stating,&nbsp;&#8220;The quicker this issue is&nbsp;resolved, the better because some&nbsp;of the negative effects increase&nbsp;cumulatively over time and would&nbsp;be hard to reverse.&#8221;
Following the negotiations, Dimon hopes that the tariffs will ultimately yield long-term benefits for the U.S.
The JPMorgan CEO warned that inflation could be more persistent than anticipated, leading to high interest rates even as the economy slows.
Despite recent declines, Dimon noted that stock and debt prices are still elevated. &nbsp;"Markets still seem to be pricing assets with the assumption that we will continue to have a fairly soft landing. I am not so sure," he wrote to the shareholders.

Why It Matters: Dimon is the first major Wall Street bank CEO to publicly comment on Trump&#8217;s extensive tariff policy amid a global market downturn. Notably, the JPMorgan CEO&#8217;s remarks represent a gradual departure from his January position, where he suggested that people should "get over" tariff concerns and that they are beneficial for national security. 
By March, in a conversation with Adobe&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) CEO Shantanu Narayen at Adobe's annual summit, Dimon characterized the economy as being in a "soft landing" phase, &#8220;but there&#8217;s a lot of turbulence out there.&#8221; He underscored the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44411483/jamie-dimon-says-theres-a-lot-of-turbulence-out-there-amid-trump-tariffs-inflation-woes-and-geopolitical-risks">uncertainty surrounding</a> President Donald Trump‘s proposed tax plan and the potential ramifications of tariffs on the global economy.
While Dimon did not point to a recession, JPMorgan Chase analyst Maia G. Crook raised the probability of a U.S. recession to 60%, up from 40% last month, calling it the &#8220;largest U.S. tax hike in nearly 60 years.&#8221;

Jamie Dimon, Once A Tariff Supporter, Warns Trump's New Policy Could Stall US Growth, Stoke Inflation: 'The Quicker The Issue Is Resolved, The Better'

Shares of software companies are trading lower as global markets continue to decline following President Trump's announcement of sweeping tariffs

AUID

Shares of software companies are trading lower as markets react to President Trump's announcement of sweeping tariffs.

Adobe's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NYSE">ADBE</a>) short percent of float has risen 7.39% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 8.20 million shares sold short, which is 1.89% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.76 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Adobe Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743685220_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Adobe has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Adobe's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Adobe's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.12%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Beyond The Numbers: 24 Analysts Discuss Adobe Stock

Jefferies analyst Brent Thill maintains Adobe (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) with a Buy and lowers the price target from $650 to $590.

Jefferies Maintains Buy on Adobe, Lowers Price Target to $590

On Thursday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman touted the latest version of GPT-4o's improved "freedom." However, digital rights advocates have previously argued that the real threat isn't political bias but growing AI-driven censorship.
What Happened: Altman took to X, formerly Twitter, and said that the new version of GPT-4o is "particularly good at coding, instruction following, and freedom."
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">new version of GPT-4o particularly good at coding, instruction following, and freedom.
&mdash; Sam Altman (@sama) <a href="https://twitter.com/sama/status/1905419197120680193?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 28, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Earlier this week, OpenAI upgraded GPT-4o, which debuted about a year ago, by introducing advanced image-generation capabilities. Along with this new capability, the AI startup also outlined its updated safety measures and policies for GPT-4o.

&#8220;In line with our Model Spec, we aim to maximize creative freedom by supporting valuable use cases like game development, historical exploration, and education—while maintaining strong safety standards,&#8221; the company stated, &#8220;At the same time, it remains as important as ever to block requests that violate those standards.&#8221;
Why It's Important: Altman's statement came at a time when the debate around AI's political leanings and bias mitigation strategies continues to swirl, particularly following missteps by Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google Gemini and Adobe Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) Firefly, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37763969/elon-musk-says-woke-ai-like-google-gemini-can-be-deadly-it-will-do-whatever-it-can-potentially-even">drew backlash last year</a> over "woke" image outputs.
However, some experts say the bigger issue isn't about whether AI is biased—it's about whether AI is suppressing speech altogether.
A 2023 report from Freedom House, titled "The Repressive Power of Artificial Intelligence," warned that AI is enabling governments and companies to scale censorship, surveillance, and disinformation faster and more cheaply than ever.

A 2024 report by The Conversation said, "We found that the use policies of major chatbots don't meet United Nations free speech standards," adding, "These vague and expansive rules give companies too much discretion to silence controversial or politically sensitive topics."
For instance, Google's Gemini bans content that "promotes or encourages hatred," a guideline critics say is overly broad and potentially suppressive.
As generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Anthropic's Claude gain widespread influence, their usage policies shape public discourse.
Without transparent safeguards that align with global human rights norms, free speech advocates warn that AI companies risk enabling digital repression—even while claiming to promote "freedom."

&nbsp;Jamie Dimon, CEO of&nbsp;JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), expressed his views on the current economic landscape, highlighting concerns over geopolitical tensions and potential tariff impacts.
What Happened: In a recent conversation with Abode (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) CEO Shantanu Narayen at Adobe&#8217;s annual summit, Dimon characterized the economy as being in a &#8220;soft landing&#8221; phase, "but there's a lot of turbulence out there." He underscored the uncertainty surrounding President Donald Trump&#8216;s proposed tax plan and the potential ramifications of tariffs on the global economy, <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/03/19/jamie-dimon-on-tariffs-geopolitics-and-the-misery-facing-the-bottom-20-of-u-s-earners/">reported</a> Fortune.
Geopolitical issues, especially the situations in Ukraine, Russia, and the Middle East, were also a point of concern for Dimon. He emphasized their impact on the future of free democratic societies.
On the topic of consumer spending in the U.S., Dimon noted a reduction in spending among lower-income individuals, while wealthier individuals remain significantly wealthier due to the rise in home&nbsp;and stock prices over the&nbsp;past two decades.
"The bottom 20% [of earners in the U.S.] didn't get a pay raise for 25 years; they're dying younger. Their schools aren't good and they live in crime-ridden neighborhoods,&#8221; stated Dimon as he expressed concern.
Addressing inflation, Dimon expressed optimism for its decrease. He acknowledged that the transition to a green economy and trade restructuring could lead to inflation, advising the audience to focus on long-term trends rather than the latest inflation reports.

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s recent tariff announcements have received mixed reactions from leading economists. While, Lawrence H. Summers, former U.S. Treasury Secretary,<a href="https://editorial.benzinga.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=833010&amp;action=edit"> strongly criticized</a> recent tariff policies, cautioning against potential recession risks and adverse long-term effects.
