This leading internet company is already ahead in the AI race

It's not really a surprise that Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG), a top internet company, is also leading the AI charge. With data and unrivaled tech expertise underpinning its competitive position, the business will keep succeeding.

Alphabet already leverages AI to improve its various user-facing apps. The Google Cloud Platform serves up AI products and services to commercial clients. Alphabet's ad customers also benefit, as AI capabilities enable more creative, impactful, and cost-effective campaigns.

Shares trade at a cheaper valuation than "Magnificent Seven" peers

Alphabet shares have risen 144% in the past three years (as of Oct. 9). However, the stock isn't done yet. It's set to continue beating the market over the next five years, in my view.

The stock provides investors with a good value. It trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 25.6, which is cheaper than all of Alphabet's "Magnificent Seven" peers.
