Alphabet's AI investments are showing promise, especially with the rollout of Gemini 2.0, enhancing the integration of AI in advertising, cloud services, and productivity, potentially outpacing competitors.
Meta's AI tools are aiding ad creation for over a million firms, improving targeting efficiency, but advertising budgets remain limited, which can restrict the overall impact of AI advancements.
