Zachary Arnold provided his expert insights in an article published by Semafor. The article discusses a recent analysis by CSET’s Emerging Technology Observatory, which highlights the top 30 AI leaders in the S&P 500, ranking companies based on AI patents, workforce size, and research output. While IBM, Alphabet, and Microsoft are expected leaders, companies like Walmart, Ford, and Wells Fargo also rank surprisingly high. IBM tops the list overall, with Amazon boasting the largest AI workforce, more than double that of Alphabet.
Zachary Arnold highlighted Amazon’s strong presence in AI, despite perceptions that it lags behind other tech giants. He noted, “Amazon may not have a brand-name AI hit akin to ChatGPT or Gemini, but it’s got huge presence in AI cloud infrastructure through Amazon Web Services and a massive retail operation that integrates AI in diverse ways.”
