Alexandra Ebert covers AI and global business, reflecting on Mag 7 earnings and the race between the U.S. and China. She compares Microsoft’s (MSFT) AI investments, which she calls more vertically aligned, to Meta (META), which is more consumer and ad focused. She thinks MSFT is “more stable in its current business model.” However, she thinks many businesses are “overhyping” AI benefits and uses, and productivity gains are unclear. Alexandra also explains how we can continue to evolve AI models and their uses.
