Goldman Sachs has stated that artificial intelligence (AI) has become too big to ignore and is expected to take over a quarter of current jobs and automate about two-thirds of roles, which could potentially increase annual global GDP by $7 trillion over a ten-year time frame. As a result, investors are interested in profiting from the AI trend, causing shares of large-cap tech companies like NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Alphabet to skyrocket in 2023. More than 60% of management teams running S&P 500 firms in communication services and IT sectors acknowledged AI during their first-quarter earnings calls, which attracted investors. Goldman Sachs revealed 15 buy-rated stocks for investors to consider, focusing on buying three-month over-the-counter call options, and firms in a wide range of industries, including software, semiconductors, technology hardware, media, internet, and information technology services, that are either directly advancing AI or indirectly enabling it.
