Artificial intelligence is taking the world by storm, transforming industries from technology to healthcare to education. There is hardly any part of the economy that isn’t being touched by AI, which also leads to tons of investing opportunities.

Yes, there are many companies directly involved in AI that you can invest in. However, there are also tons of companies that aren’t directly developing AI but instead updating their products to include it. When finding an AI company to invest in, it’s important to consider both types – not just getting hung up on AI development companies.

Even with a limited budget of $200, fractional shares allow you to invest in some of the leading AI companies. Many investment platforms allow you to purchase fractional shares in most companies these days, so you no longer have to shop around according to the share price.
