Publicly traded AI companies may be on the rise, thanks to rapid advancements in artificial intelligence.

Publicly Traded AI Companies to Watch

  • NVIDIA (NVDA)
  • IBM (IBM)
  • Google (GOOG)
  • Microsoft (MSFT)
  • TSMC (TSM)

While public AI companies must distribute resources among many investors, they also get to lean on this larger investor pool. Trading public stocks makes it easier to raise funds for business growth and new projects.

At the same time, public companies are subjected to more regulations than their private counterparts and must share financial information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This practice creates more transparency, so investors can make informed decisions on where to place their resources. 

Because the global AI industry is expected to exceed $826 billion by 2030, increasing regulation is a trend to watch in the coming years. However, this shouldn’t slow down the spread of AI. Since the days of factory robotics and customer service chatbots, AI technology has moved into diverse areas like musiceducation and banking

Here are publicly traded AI companies welcoming public investors to share in the rewards of some of the latest AI-based innovations and help fund the future of AI.
