There have been 1,072 mentions so far among companies in the S&P 500.

Google parent Alphabet brought up AI the most, at 64 mentions. Microsoft, which has a $10 billion stake in ChatGPT’s OpenAI, made 50 mentions and Meta referenced AI 47 times.

Capitalization
The biggest tech firms are bullish about their AI investments for 2023.

Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai, Satya Nadella and Andy Jassy, in their Q1 calls last April, talked about how they will capitalize the AI  boom, creating their own models.

Google said the company has embedded “deep computer science and AI” into product updates.

Amazon said it will develop language models used in chatbots, which CEO Jassy pointed out might take years and cost “billions”.
