Tech stocks were hit hard on Friday, with the Nasdaq falling to a three-month low. Concerns about AI-related spending particular from Amazon and Intel contributed to the sell-off. The decline is expected to wipe out more than $1 trillion in market value as worries about the AI market persist. Despite the tech sector's challenges, other areas of Wall Street were resilient, but the overall impact on the market is considerable.
