Should you invest in AI companies?

You can invest in companies that build AI hardware, develop AI solutions or sell AI development tools. Or, you can invest in companies that use AI to make better products, improve their marketing or create efficiencies. Fortunately, you have quality options in both categories—including a few stocks you already know.

How do I invest in AI stocks?

If you're very new to stock trading and want to invest in AI stocks, the first step is to open a brokerage account. From there you'll need to decide what kind of AI stock exposure you want. Individual AI stocks can potentially offer high returns, but require taking on a lot of risk, upfront expense and research work.

What are AI stocks?

Instead, AI stocks are a loose collection of companies with interests in artificial intelligence. These companies include major tech companies like Microsoft or Apple, which are both developing their own AI technologies. They also include companies instrumental in the production of AI technology, such as microchip manufacturer Nvidia.
