It only represents 0.3% of Berkshire's portfolio, but it's quickly becoming one of the most direct AI plays owned by the investment company.</p><p>Snowflake's Data Cloud was revolutionary when it launched in 2018.

Nonetheless, it's shaping up to be a great long-term AI play.</p><h2 id=\"id_880407426\">2. Amazon: 0.4% of Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio</h2><p><strong>Amazon</strong> is one of the most diverse technology companies in the world, with dominant positions in industries like e-commerce, cloud computing, streaming, and digital advertising. Now, it's quickly becoming one of the most diverse opportunities in AI.</p><p>Amazon is focused on delivering the widest possible range of AI products and services to businesses through its cloud computing arm, Amazon Web Services (AWS). The company has already launched its own data center chips, Trainium and Inferentia, which are designed to compete with <strong>Nvidia</strong>'s industry-leading hardware. Plus, AWS offers businesses a growing number of large language models to accelerate the development of AI applications.</p><p>In fact, Amazon recently made a $4 billion investment into leading AI start-up Anthropic. As part of the deal, AWS will be Anthropic's primary cloud provider, and Anthropic will train its future models on Amazon's chips. Plus, Anthropic will make those models available to AWS customers, which will help differentiate the cloud platform from its competitors.</p><p>The cloud might be Amazon's most lucrative AI opportunity, but it isn't its only one. The company uses an AI recommendation engine on Amazon.com to show customers products they are most likely to buy. It also uses AI on its Prime streaming service during top broadcasts like the NFL's Thursday Night Football; it ingests millions of data points from each game to display key statistics that keep viewers informed at the highest possible level.</p><p>Berkshire Hathaway purchased Amazon stock in 2019, and its position is relatively small. But Amazon is on track to generate $523 billion in revenue in 2023, which is even more than <strong>Apple</strong>, the largest company in the world. Given Amazon's growing exposure to AI, Berkshire might wish it owned more of the stock when it looks back in a few years.</p><h2 id=\"id_1088999575\">3. Apple: 48.4% of Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio</h2><p>Apple is worth over $3 trillion, making it the most valuable company in the world. Berkshire started betting on the company in 2016, and it has since plowed about $35 billion into the stock. Its position is worth $181 billion as of this writing, so it accounts for a whopping 48.4% of Berkshire's stock portfolio.</p><p>That isn't surprising because Apple has all the attributes Buffett loves. Its chief executive officer, Tim Cook, has led the company to consistent growth and monster profits since he took the job in 2011. Plus, Apple returns enormous amounts of that money to shareholders, including $15 billion in dividends and $77.5 billion in stock buybacks during its fiscal 2023 (which ended Sept. 30) alone.</p><p>Consumers and investors know Apple best for hardware like the iPhone, iPad, and Mac personal computers. But the company subtly uses AI throughout all of them. AI powers the autocorrect feature on all Apple keyboards, and the Siri voice assistant. Apple Music also relies on AI to learn what listeners like, so it can feed them more of that content to keep them engaged.</p><p>Plus, the Apple-designed A17 Pro chip inside the new iPhone 15 lineup can power those AI workloads on-device faster than ever. As more smartphone features use AI, putting next-generation chips in those devices can reduce their dependence on external data centers for computing power, which leads to a faster, more seamless experience for the user.</p><p>Speculation also is swirling that Apple is pumping millions of dollars per day into AI units across the company -- units that are building everything from conversational AI models to generative AI applications, capable of crafting text, images, and videos. Reports suggest one such application, Ajax GPT, outperforms OpenAI's GPT 3.5 model -- the original technology that powered ChatGPT.</p><p>That suggests Apple is rapidly catching up to some of the leading developers in the AI industry, which could lead to powerful new features for its products in the coming years. Buffett and his team might look like rock stars if Apple becomes a real player in AI, given Berkshire's gigantic position in the stock.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>49.1% of Warren Buffett's $373 Billion Portfolio Is Invested in 3 AI Stocks</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n49.1% of Warren Buffett's $373 Billion Portfolio Is Invested in 3 AI Stocks\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-12-21 17:57 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/12/19/491-warren-buffetts-373-billion-invested-3-ai-stoc/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Warren Buffett has led the Berkshire Hathaway for more than 50 years.

Amazon: 0.4% of Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio</h2><p><strong>Amazon</strong> is one of the most diverse technology companies in the world, with dominant positions in industries like e-commerce, cloud computing, streaming, and digital advertising. Now, it's quickly becoming one of the most diverse opportunities in AI.</p><p>Amazon is focused on delivering the widest possible range of AI products and services to businesses through its cloud computing arm, Amazon Web Services (AWS). The company has already launched its own data center chips, Trainium and Inferentia, which are designed to compete with <strong>Nvidia</strong>'s industry-leading hardware. Plus, AWS offers businesses a growing number of large language models to accelerate the development of AI applications.</p><p>In fact, Amazon recently made a $4 billion investment into leading AI start-up Anthropic. As part of the deal, AWS will be Anthropic's primary cloud provider, and Anthropic will train its future models on Amazon's chips. Plus, Anthropic will make those models available to AWS customers, which will help differentiate the cloud platform from its competitors.</p><p>The cloud might be Amazon's most lucrative AI opportunity, but it isn't its only one. The company uses an AI recommendation engine on Amazon.com to show customers products they are most likely to buy. It also uses AI on its Prime streaming service during top broadcasts like the NFL's Thursday Night Football; it ingests millions of data points from each game to display key statistics that keep viewers informed at the highest possible level.</p><p>Berkshire Hathaway purchased Amazon stock in 2019, and its position is relatively small. But Amazon is on track to generate $523 billion in revenue in 2023, which is even more than <strong>Apple</strong>, the largest company in the world. Given Amazon's growing exposure to AI, Berkshire might wish it owned more of the stock when it looks back in a few years.</p><h2 id=\"id_1088999575\">3. Apple: 48.4% of Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio</h2><p>Apple is worth over $3 trillion, making it the most valuable company in the world. Berkshire started betting on the company in 2016, and it has since plowed about $35 billion into the stock. Its position is worth $181 billion as of this writing, so it accounts for a whopping 48.4% of Berkshire's stock portfolio.</p><p>That isn't surprising because Apple has all the attributes Buffett loves. Its chief executive officer, Tim Cook, has led the company to consistent growth and monster profits since he took the job in 2011. Plus, Apple returns enormous amounts of that money to shareholders, including $15 billion in dividends and $77.5 billion in stock buybacks during its fiscal 2023 (which ended Sept. 30) alone.</p><p>Consumers and investors know Apple best for hardware like the iPhone, iPad, and Mac personal computers. But the company subtly uses AI throughout all of them. AI powers the autocorrect feature on all Apple keyboards, and the Siri voice assistant.
