Nvidia's sky-high valuation could come under pressure as competition heats up. While Nvidia's AI-fueled rally may not be over, it becomes increasingly difficult to justify buying the stock as the GPU maker's valuation soars.

IBM's watsonx AI platform, aimed at customers that adopt AI technology cautiously, provides guardrails for compliance, risk management, and governance.
