Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) are pioneers in artificial intelligence (AI) as both companies have played central roles in bringing this technology mainstream. While Microsoft-backed OpenAI kicked off the AI craze when it launched the highly popular ChatGPT in November 2022, the chatbot may not have seen the light of the day without Nvidia’s graphics processing units (GPUs), which were used for training the large language model (LLM) powering ChatGPT. As other major tech giants joined the AI race, the demand for Nvidia’s chips went through the roof, and sent its revenue and bottom line soaring.
