In this article, we discuss the 10 best artificial intelligence stocks to invest in that are under $10.
Technology has made amazing leaps and bounds over the past decade. Among recent innovations like autonomous vehicles, machine learning, and cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence has become a major driving force among a myriad of novel inventions. The technology has become rapidly integrated into numerous corporate processes and procedures across the world to boost business performance and customer satisfaction across sectors, as several small and medium-sized companies have begun investing in artificial intelligence to improve the functionality of their business operations at a lower cost.
According to market researcher IDC, the global artificial intelligence market is expected to break the $500 billion mark with a five-year CAGR of 17.5% and total revenues reaching approximately $554.3 billion. The pandemic did much to prove the utility of AI -based business models among corporations, consumers and investors. Industries such as retail, e-commerce, healthcare, manufacturing and logistics made significant investments and progress in technology to balance out the ratios of supply and demand during these periods, resulting in unprecedented growth during the Covid-19 pandemic. This growth is further predicted to occur post-pandemic as well. Based on another report by Fortune Business Insights, the global artificial intelligence market is projected to grow from $387.45 billion in 2022 to $1,394.30 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 20.1% during the forecast period.
Although several companies make use of AI technologies in their business operations, only a handful of stocks have AI and automation as a central part of their businesses. With the market adapting to technological advancements, it makes sense that investors must do the same. Thus, it would be useful to know which stocks currently present attractive prospects for investors looking into the AI market. Some of the biggest artificial intelligence companies in the world include NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA), Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), and Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:FB), among others.
