Companies are increasing their AI investments, hiring AI specialists and figuring out how to extract as much value as possible.

AI: Why are you so obsessed with me?

Well, we’ve been promised your many benefits: Boosting productivity, reducing costs, and creating new income streams.

Are you the real deal? According to Roundhill Investments’ Director of Research, the benefits of AI are “more tangible, more real” compared to other hyped trends (BBG).

Here’s how 10 companies are using AI:

1/ Airbnb (NASDAQ:ABNB) — using AI to match travelers to bookings.
