OpenAI’s ChatGPT has taken the world by storm.

In just five days, the AI chat app reached 1 million users, and in two months since its launch, ChatGPT has gained 100 million users, making it arguably the fastest growing internet consumer app in history.

While it makes mistakes, ChatGPT has offered a lot of utility to a lot of people.

Even tech leaders are impressed.

When it came to ChatGPT, NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang said earlier this month, “When was the last time we saw a piece of technology that is so versatile that it can solve problems and surprise people in so many ways so often? It can write a poem of course, it could fill out a spreadsheet, it can write a SQL query and do a SQL query, it can write python code, it can write Verilog. And if it can’t do it today, of course it will be able to do it someday. So the fact that you have this tool that can do all these different things has really surprised a lot of people around the world. Now, for a lot of people who have been working on this, we have been waiting for this moment. This is the iPhone moment, if you will, of artificial intelligence.”

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) founder Bill Gates also said recently that ChatGPT ‘will change our world’.

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), of course, could benefit from ChatGPT’s success given it invested $1 billion in OpenAI in 2019 and another $10 billion in the company this year.

OpenAI also uses Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT)’s cloud platform, Microsoft Azure, for a lot of its processing. If ChatGPT continues to grow, the company’s demand for Microsoft Azure will likely continue to increase too.

Microsoft is also incorporating ChatGPT into its search engine, Bing, to potentially gain market share from Google.

Similarly, a lot of other big tech companies also have substantial AI growth potential in the future given how transformative the industry could be.

The technology industry can change very quickly where companies can gain and lose market share in a short amount of time. As a result, it could be a good idea for long term investors to own a well diversified portfolio of leading stocks across many different sectors.

ASML Holding N.V. designs and manufactures semiconductor production equipment. It specializes in photolithography equipment, where light sources are used to photo-reactively create patterns on wafers that become printed circuits. ASML is the dominant leader across all types of lithography but, most importantly, is the only company selling equipment for extreme ultra-violet (EUV) lithography, the latest generation technology.

Indeed, because of the stalling out of Moore’s Law, advanced lithography of larger and multi-patterned silicon chips has been critical for leading-edge chip manufacturing and continued improvement in semiconductor chip performance over time. The company is well positioned to continue growing above industry rates as it rapidly adds capacity across its entire business to meet rising industry demand, especially from leading-edge customers continuing to invest to stay ahead of their competitors and drive chip performance forward.

Additionally, the introduction of high-NA EUV technology in the middle of the decade will add another leg to the growth opportunity.
