We recently published a list of 14 AI Stocks to Watch According to Latest News and Ratings. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) stands against other AI stocks to watch according to latest news and ratings.

Artificial intelligence businesses have taken Wall Street by storm in the past few months. One of the most notable success stories has been OpenAI, the AI startup that has become the most valuable private firm in the world with a valuation of over $157 billion. However, the company is facing multiple lawsuits regarding the use of data from news publications without attribution. After US-based The New York Times and the Chicago Tribune took the company to court, Indian news publication ANI has also alleged that the ChatGPT creator is using published content without permission to help train the AI chatbot to provide information to users.

Even as it faces these lawsuits, the company is blazing forward with plans to expand the use of the AI chatbot. Kevin Weil, the chief product officer of the company, recently announced on social media platform X that the firm is expanding the Advanced Voice Mode feature of ChatGPT to the web. This will let users talk to the AI chatbot right from their browser. However, the latest feature will only be available to Plus, Enterprise, Teams, or Edu subscribers, the paid members of ChatGPT. This feature is already available on the standalone applications of the product on popular mobile software platforms like Android and iOS.
