Pulling in capital, talent and corporations at a historic clip, Florida is no longer just competing with rival states — it’s competing with global economies.New data from the Florida Chamber of Commerce shows the Sunshine State's $1.8 trillion economy has climbed to No. 14 globally, according to the Florida Chamber Foundation. The Chamber says the ranking demonstrates the state's emphasis on lower taxes, streamlined regulations and free enterprise."The best way to help America move forward is to have Florida lead the country forward when it comes to free enterprise and freedom," Florida Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Mark Wilson told Fox News Digital.

That metric has remained strong, Wilson said, as "places like New York and California are losing population, they're losing wealth, they're losing businesses and places like Florida are gaining [them]."While tourism, agriculture and construction remain foundational industries, Chamber data shows Florida ranking No. 1 nationally for new business startups and manufacturing job growth. Wilson also highlighted growth in aerospace, defense, fintech, healthcare, logistics and Central Florida's $11.6 billion modeling-and-simulation industry."The secret sauce for us in Florida is this has been part of a 20-year plan," the CEO said. "From the governor to the legislature, to nearly all of us in the business community, we've been on an ultra-focused… [TheTopNews] Read More.56 mins ago - Zuckerberg says AI should empower people, not replace them, in new Meta visionMeta CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled the company's latest vision for artificial intelligence Wednesday, arguing the technology should empower people rather than replace them.The social media giant released a new video outlining its approach to AI, contrasting it with what it described as a growing "fear" or "dystopian" narrative surrounding the rapidly evolving technology.The announcement comes as major technology companies race to shape the future of artificial intelligence, with Meta positioning itself as a company that believes AI should benefit everyone."Meta has always believed in giving people the power to share, connect, and shape your world in the ways you want," Zuckerberg said.TRUMP CABINET JOINS TIKTOK AFTER DOJ CLEARS PLATFORM FOR FEDERAL USE: 'MAJORITY-OWNED BY AMERICAN INVESTORS'"As we enter this next wave with AI, we continue to believe the future is for everyone," he continued.
