• Not an AI stock in the traditional sense, but Apple heavily integrates AI into its products and services.

• Features like Siri, on-device machine learning for Face ID, photo processing, and Apple Intelligence (AI-driven features in iOS) show deep AI investment.

• Its focus on privacy-preserving AI and custom silicon (e.g., Neural Engine in A-series chips) positions it as a leader in consumer AI applications.

• Also, not an AI stock, Amex uses AI for credit risk assessment, fraud detection, and personalized marketing.

• Its data-driven approach leverages machine learning to enhance customer experiences, but its core business is financial services and payments, not AI development.
