• Alphabet (NasdaqGS:GOOGL) and HSBC announced a multi year partnership to apply AI across more than 200 use cases across the bank’s global operations.
• Google agreed to work with MediaTek on next generation TPU chip technology and supported a US$3.2b financial guarantee linked to the Lake Mariner AI data center project.
• Waymo, Alphabet’s self driving unit, launched its first nationwide public safety TV campaign to address consumer concerns about autonomous vehicles.

These moves show Alphabet pushing deeper into three areas investors watch closely: enterprise AI, custom chips and autonomous driving. The HSBC deal positions Google Cloud as a core AI partner for a major global bank, while the MediaTek and data center commitments point to a heavier focus on the infrastructure behind generative AI models.

Waymo’s new safety campaign gives Alphabet a wider platform to explain its self driving approach to a national audience as robotaxis gain more attention. For investors, the combination of AI partnerships, chip development and public facing autonomy efforts adds fresh context for how NasdaqGS:GOOGL is allocating resources across its key projects.
