What is artificial intelligence and how is it used?
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a term broadly applied to machines programmed to think like humans. This simulation of human intelligence typically requires three components: perception, reasoning and learning.
AI is becoming increasingly prevalent in today’s technology-infused world. In fact, many of us encounter artificial intelligence daily. This type of technology is applied in countless ways, but we most frequently interact with AI through smartphone virtual assistants, chatbots, cybersecurity, smart home devices and semiautonomous vehicles.
Like most subcategories in the tech sector, artificial intelligence is on the rise. And as big names in the industry like Amazon, Microsoft and Google continue to beef up their AI programs, so too do the newer players in this space, like Catasys and Sonos.
The increasing prevalence of artificial intelligence suggests this industry will only continue to grow as we become more accustomed to the many benefits this technology offers. AI’s various applications across healthcare, finance, travel and more help cement its status as one of the biggest industries to watch in the coming years. In fact, Statista suggests that global revenue from the AI software market will grow to be worth $126 billion by 2025 — a market worth $14.69 billion in 2019.
The good news is that there’s money in this type of technology. Don’t believe it? Simply ask Facebook, Tesla or any number of other blue-chip giants with a robust AI department at their disposal.
Beyond potential dividends, you also have the opportunity to support companies producing technology you may actually use or benefit from in the future. And there’s no denying it — advancements in the world of AI are just plain exciting. Who doesn’t want the opportunity to brag about supporting the next up-and-coming self-driving taxi fleet?
Consider these risks before investing in AI companies
The single biggest threat to companies in this category is competition. High growth sectors are developing fast, and also tend to experience the highest rates of competition. There are countless companies vying to turn a profit with AI technology and this type of competition can be dangerous for investors.
Many of the smaller and more affordable companies available to invest in simply don’t make it, and the already-established names in AI are expensive to invest in. You may get in on the ground floor of something with strong potential only to find the company run out of business by fast-moving competitors six months down the line.
Another big threat to AI stocks is governmental regulation. Tech companies aren’t immune to regulatory disputes and as data and privacy protection measures tighten, some companies may be forced to reconfigure and adapt — and such steps can be time-consuming and expensive.
Artificial intelligence is exciting but can’t develop while unregulated. Governmental and corporate discussions around consumer data protection continue to evolve and investors with AI interests will need to stay alert.
