The administration compared its significance to the famous Manhattan Project, the World War 2 initiative to develop the atomic bomb.<\/p>\n<p>Project Genesis aims to develop an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/terms\/a\/artificial-intelligence\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">artificial intelligence<\/a> platform utilizing supercomputers and data from various government agencies to accelerate America&#8217;s efforts in advanced manufacturing, national security, and other key areas.\u00a0While it&#8217;s still early and the executive order didn&#8217;t detail any specific funding, a federal AI initiative makes it all the more likely that the leading technology companies will continue to benefit from strong AI tailwinds that have made them such lucrative investments over the past few years.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the top <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/stock-market\/market-sectors\/information-technology\/ai-stocks\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AI stocks<\/a> to buy right now.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Google (Alphabet) logo on smartphone.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"880\" height=\"642\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"h-auto max-w-full rounded object-contain\" style=\"color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1764653592_479_\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">Image source: Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>1.

Notably, Alphabet trained Gemini 3 on its own Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) chips, which are purpose-built for its machine-learning workloads. Alphabet&#8217;s TPUs have gained enough attention that Meta Platforms is reportedly considering implementing them in its data centers.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Alphabet Stock Quote\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"w-full flex-none object-contain\" style=\"color:transparent\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1764653592_183_\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Change<\/p>\n<p>(-1.65%) $-5.29<\/p>\n<p>Current Price<\/p>\n<p>$314.89<\/p>\n<p>Key Data Points<\/p>\n<p>Market Cap<\/p>\n<p>$3800B<\/p>\n<p>Day&#8217;s Range<\/p>\n<p>$313.89 &#8211; $319.85<\/p>\n<p>52wk Range<\/p>\n<p>$140.53 &#8211; $328.83<\/p>\n<p>Volume<\/p>\n<p>41M<\/p>\n<p>Avg Vol<\/p>\n<p>38M<\/p>\n<p>Gross Margin<\/p>\n<p>59.18%<\/p>\n<p>Dividend Yield<\/p>\n<p>0.26%<\/p>\n<p>Alphabet&#8217;s stock has soared over the past few weeks as the market recognized that it owns all the components of an AI ecosystem, including data centers, AI models, a cloud platform, and vast amounts of user data to train its models. Despite the stock&#8217;s hot momentum, it&#8217;s still trading at a reasonable price\/earnings-to-growth ratio <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/terms\/p\/peg-ratio\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">(PEG)<\/a> of 1.8, a solid buying point for long-term investors today.<\/p>\n<p>2. Nvidia<\/p>\n<p>As the current\u00a0leader in AI chip technology,\u00a0Nvidia\u00a0(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/quote\/nasdaq\/nvda\/\" class=\"font-bold hover:underline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NVDA<\/a> +1.50%) has enjoyed a significant market share in the data center chip market, estimated\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/terms\/m\/market-share\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">to be<\/a> as high as\u00a092%. The company probably doesn&#8217;t like seeing reports that its customers (Meta Platforms) are looking at other chips. However, Project Genesis is the latest signal that the AI market will ultimately be massive, perhaps too large for any single company to supply all the chips.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Nvidia Stock Quote\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"w-full flex-none object-contain\" style=\"color:transparent\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1764653593_286_\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Change<\/p>\n<p>(1.50%) $2.66<\/p>\n<p>Current Price<\/p>\n<p>$179.66<\/p>\n<p>Key Data Points<\/p>\n<p>Market Cap<\/p>\n<p>$4372B<\/p>\n<p>Day&#8217;s Range<\/p>\n<p>$173.68 &#8211; $180.29<\/p>\n<p>52wk Range<\/p>\n<p>$86.62 &#8211; $212.19<\/p>\n<p>Volume<\/p>\n<p>4M<\/p>\n<p>Avg Vol<\/p>\n<p>192M<\/p>\n<p>Gross Margin<\/p>\n<p>70.05%<\/p>\n<p>Dividend Yield<\/p>\n<p>0.02%<\/p>\n<p>Nvidia&#8217;s cutting-edge graphics processing units (GPUs) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/terms\/c\/cuda-programming\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CUDA programming<\/a> arguably make it the fundamental AI company, as virtually every AI hyperscaler is using its chips. Nvidia will also likely receive numerous opportunities as the government ramps up its AI plans.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, Nvidia could expand beyond data centers into other AI applications, such as robotics and autonomous driving. It already has its eyes on both industries.<\/p>\n<p>3. Taiwan Semiconductor<\/p>\n<p>Which company is fabricating all of these AI chips? It&#8217;s probably Taiwan Semiconductor (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/quote\/nyse\/tsm\/\" class=\"font-bold hover:underline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TSM<\/a> 1.21%), the world&#8217;s leading foundry (a company that manufactures chips). Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s advanced manufacturing technology and capacity to produce mass quantities of high-end chips have enabled it to increase its market share in the AI era.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Stock Quote\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"w-full flex-none object-contain\" style=\"color:transparent\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1764653593_145_\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Change<\/p>\n<p>(-1.21%) $-3.54<\/p>\n<p>Current Price<\/p>\n<p>$287.97<\/p>\n<p>Key Data Points<\/p>\n<p>Market Cap<\/p>\n<p>$1492B<\/p>\n<p>Day&#8217;s Range<\/p>\n<p>$286.48 &#8211; $290.89<\/p>\n<p>52wk Range<\/p>\n<p>$134.25 &#8211; $311.37<\/p>\n<p>Volume<\/p>\n<p>377K<\/p>\n<p>Avg Vol<\/p>\n<p>13M<\/p>\n<p>Gross Margin<\/p>\n<p>57.75%<\/p>\n<p>Dividend Yield<\/p>\n<p>1.00%<\/p>\n<p>Today, Taiwan Semiconductor accounts for approximately 71% of the global foundry services market, measured as revenue share. Considering AI&#8217;s thirst for computing power and the fact that all chip roads essentially lead to Taiwan Semiconductor, it&#8217;s basically the ultimate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/terms\/p\/pick-and-shovel\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pick-and-shovel<\/a> AI play. The stock&#8217;s PEG ratio of 1 is enticing for buyers.<\/p>\n<p>4. Amazon<\/p>\n<p>E-commerce giant Amazon (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/quote\/nasdaq\/amzn\/\" class=\"font-bold hover:underline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AMZN<\/a> +0.14%) is a sneaky AI stock because it also operates the world&#8217;s largest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/terms\/c\/cloud-computing\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">cloud computing<\/a> platform in Amazon Web Services (AWS). AI, like most software today, runs in the cloud, giving Amazon a front-row seat to the AI growth opportunity. It has also developed a close partnership with Anthropic, one of the leading AI developers and a potential benefactor of Project Genesis.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon and Anthropic just launched one of the world&#8217;s largest AI chip clusters, which will have nearly 1 million of Amazon&#8217;s custom AI chips by the end of this year. It could be a preview of what&#8217;s to come as the government invests in AI <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/terms\/i\/infrastructure\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">infrastructure<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Much of this AI demand could flow to AWS, producing a windfall for Amazon. The stock is attractively priced now, with a PEG ratio below 1.6.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"U.S. flag embedded in an electronic circuit board.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"880\" height=\"587\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"h-auto max-w-full rounded object-contain\" style=\"color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1764653594_24_\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">Image source: Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>5. Microsoft<\/p>\n<p>Diversified tech-giant Microsoft (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/quote\/nasdaq\/msft\/\" class=\"font-bold hover:underline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MSFT<\/a> 1.13%) operates Azure, the world&#8217;s second-leading cloud computing platform. However, investors may want to own Microsoft for its close ties with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/how-to-invest\/stocks\/how-to-invest-in-openai-stock\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">OpenAI<\/a>, the leading AI developer behind ChatGPT. Many view OpenAI as an AI pioneer, so it&#8217;s hard to see Project Genesis not producing opportunities for OpenAI along the way.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft is tied to OpenAI through 2032 via a newly announced agreement, and the two companies are pooling their knowledge and resources to develop custom AI chips. Microsoft&#8217;s large size and diverse businesses probably make it the slow-and-steady name on this list.<\/p>\n<p>That may not be a bad thing, considering how unpredictable the AI boom has already proven to be. The company&#8217;s PEG ratio of 1.8 is a reasonable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/terms\/v\/valuation\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">valuation<\/a> to pay for the stock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"America is going all out in the global AI battle.
