We recently compiled a list of the 15 AI News Investors Should Not Miss. In this article, we are going to take a look at where NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ:NXPI) stands against the other AI stocks investors should not miss.
On October 31, CNBC’s Steve Kovach joined ‘Money Movers’ to discuss big tech’s AI spending. Kovach observes that, apart from ChatGPT, no other AI product has achieved a breakthrough, despite ongoing efforts from many companies. Currently, most of the money is going to chip makers and cloud businesses, and there is no evidence of meaningful sales or engagement around AI products that people may want to use every day. Kovach’s observation implies that tech giants continue to invest heavily in foundational AI advancements and that high-engagement consumer products may still have time to launch. Additionally, many of these big tech companies have reported that they will continue to step up their already high spending on AI infrastructure.

For many like Kovach, OpenAI represents the leading and most mainstream AI breakthrough, with each of its moves highly anticipated.

In its latest breakthrough, OpenAI has launched “ChatGPT Search”, the company’s new search engine, positioning the high-powered AI startup to compete with search engines like Bing, Perplexity, and Google. This search feature within ChatGPT provides up-to-the-minute sports scores, stock quotes, weather, and more, driven by real-time web searches and partnerships with news and data providers.
“I find it to be a way faster/easier way to get the information I’m looking for. I think we’ll see this especially for queries that require more complex research. I also look forward to a future where a search query can dynamically render a custom web page in response!”
