Gregory Peters, Co-Chief Investment Officer of PGIM Fixed Income, joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to weigh in on this week's bond market moves, including a global selloff sparked by a rout in Japan. Leaders gathering at Davos were left wondering how long it would take before so-called "bond vigilantes" target what US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent calls the “mountain” of US debt. Citadel CEO Ken Griffin told the forum Wednesday that the episode appears to be “a Liz Truss-lite moment,” and Former International Monetary Fund First Deputy Managing Director Gita Gopinath said that it’s clear that investors no longer consider the US the secure borrower that it once was. Peters calls the sentiment "a little melodramatic," and goes on to say that "having a heightened debt-to-GDP with administrative political instability has a tendency of wreaking havoc on the bond market." Peters speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec. (Source: Bloomberg)

LiveKit, a startup that provides software underpinning voice, video and physical AI models including OpenAI’s, raised $100 million in a funding round that values the company at $1 billion. The investment was led by Index Ventures, according to a statement, and included Salesforce Ventures, as well as prior investors Altimeter Capital Managment, Hanabi Capital and Redpoint Ventures. LiveKit’s software also lets customers build AI agents and run them on its network. LiveKit’s software and network run AI models that use voice, video and so-called physical AI for tasks like robotics. Customers include OpenAI, xAI, Salesforce Inc., Tesla Inc. and Spotify Technology SA, as well as 911 emergency services and AI applications for mental health, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Russ d’Sa said in an interview. D’Sa co-founded the company with David Zhao in 2021 after watching video platforms like Zoom take off during the pandemic. Those apps were built for streaming large amounts of audio and video but the internet itself wasn’t built for that. After an initial project failed to take off, friends asked d’Sa to put some of the related infrastructure software and tools in a public GitHub repository so they could use it. That caught on and larger companies like Spotify and Oracle Corp. soon were playing around with it. Some of them said, “We love what you’ve done in open source — but can you build a cloud version, a global network, and we can just pay you to operate that?” d’Sa said. The technology also turned out to be perfect for the newly developed AI models. In 2022, OpenAI released ChatGPT, and d’Sa built a demo pairing his technology with the chatbot in order to make queries using speech rather than text. Unbeknownst to d’Sa, someone at OpenAI saw the demo and signed up for LiveKit using a personal Gmail account. The AI research lab ended up striking a commercial deal with LiveKit and using the product for ChatGPT voice mode, he said. LiveKit, based in San Jose, Calif...

Emerging stars are starting to critique Trump’s immigration crackdown – defying the genre’s legacy of conservatism Thanksgiving did not go the way that Frank Ray had anticipated. The country singer had invited his family up from Texas to Tennessee for the holiday, with plans to deep fry a turkey, explore Nashville, and take in a show at the Grand Ole Opry . But on Thanksgiving morning, Ray received an unsettling call: TSA had flagged his sister’s husband, Juan Nevarez-Porras, at El Paso international airport due to insufficient documentation required to fly.

CVC Capital Partners is looking to raise €2.75 billion ($3.2 billion) of debt against its sports franchise, whose investments range from Spanish football’s top division and English professional rugby to volleyball and women’s tennis. The alternative investment manager’s Global Sports Group is in talks with institutional investors on the private debt, which is structured to be repaid in five, 10 and 25 years, people with knowledge of the matter said. The debt will be ranked at investment grade, the people said, which is unusual for private equity firms, who typically raise more-expensive sub-investment grade debt on their assets. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. , which is arranging the transaction, has set up a presentation next week at the private placement conference in Miami — the industry’s main annual event — said the people, who requested anonymity because the talks aren’t public. Pricing is expected in early February, they said. Sky News earlier reported on some elements of the deal. A CVC spokesperson declined to comment. A representative for Goldman declined to comment. Formed in 2025, CVC’s Global Sports Group franchise combines the Amsterdam-listed private equity group’s investments in seven leagues across four sports: football, rugby, tennis and volleyball. While CVC is the main owner of GSG, it has plans to sell a minority stake in the platform in the future, one of the people said. In one of its most high-profile deals, CVC signed off on a €1.9 billion investment in 2021 with Spanish Football’s La Liga. The deal committed Spanish teams to allocate up to 70% of the funds to investments linked to infrastructure and other long-term investment projects rather than funding new players. Other investments haven’t been without issues. CVC invested in the French Ligue 1 in 2021 during a traumatic period for French football. The year before, its Spanish broadcaster had pulled a roughly €800 million-a-year contract, leaving the Ligue to plug the financial gap. The stream...

Alphabet Inc. ’s Google is rolling out a new option to personalize search results by tapping user data from the tech giant’s other applications, its latest bid to keep ahead of competition from the likes of OpenAI. The new feature, part of an offering called Personal Intelligence, will give people a choice to tailor results in the artificial intelligence-powered search mode by using data from their Gmail and Google Photos accounts. Those searching for a travel itinerary, for example, might find more relevant suggestions based on hotel bookings in their email and pictures from previous trips, Google said. It “transforms Search into an experience that feels uniquely yours by connecting the dots across your Google apps,” said Robby Stein, vice president of product for Google search, in a blog post. Google, long dominant in online search, has faced new threats from artificial intelligence startups like OpenAI and Perplexity AI Inc. , which offer alternative ways to look up information. But Google is also sitting on a unique trove of personal information on its users that can help differentiate its products. Last week, Google announced that its Gemini AI assistant can now proactively tap into users’ data across Gmail, Search, Photos and YouTube. The Personal Intelligence feature is currently only available for paid Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers. The company said it will not use information from Gmail or photos to train its AI models.

Personal Intelligence can tap into your Gmail inbox to check for bookings and purchase receipts. Google is helping AI Mode to provide more personalized responses in Search by allowing the chatbot to analyze your Gmail and Google Photos accounts. After launching for Gemini AI last week, "Personal Intelligence" is now coming to tailor AI Mode search results to your interests and daily life by gathering information from your emails and photos, instead of requiring you to manually create and adjust your preferences. For example, Google says Personal Intelligence allows AI Mode to suggest travel itineraries by referencing hotel bookings in your Gmail and holiday snaps in Photos. If you take a lot of selfies with ice cream, then it could cur … Read the full story at The Verge.
