U.S. stocks have rallied since the start of the year thanks to the significant performance of large tech stocks that dabble in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Big-cap tech companies have pushed the market to bullish territory while their prices reach new heights. Several industries are already reaping the benefits of AI integration, increasing efficiency and production by notable margins. Furthermore, the technology’s widening applications open new opportunities for companies looking into facilitating raw material production, component manufacture, and implementation solutions for AI leaders.
