The leading companies in the field of artificial intelligence include start-ups such as OpenAI as well as tech giants such as Google and Microsoft. OpenAI's ChatGPT is the star of the market, but other competitors like Google Gemini are challenging it. OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft are all companies at the forefront of the artificial intelligence market. The sector is still evolving and many companies are struggling to position themselves as a reference. Let us take a look at some of the most important ones.
OpenAI
They are the ones who started the current AI race. The startup launched ChatGPT 3.5 at the end of 2022 and has been in the spotlight ever since. Its AI model is used to write texts, extract data from a report or summarize data, and even program code. It is based on the GPT engine, which is now in version 4, and the company licenses it to other companies so that they can develop their own AI systems. The company has also developed the Dall-E tool, an image generator. So you could say that OpenAI is one of the main drivers of this technology.
Artificial intelligence is an integral part of most of the services that the tech giant offers, from its search engine to Gmail and YouTube. Now the company has launched its ChatGPT alternative, Google Bard, which can generate all kinds of content, be it text, images, or code. The company has made significant efforts to improve its technology and launched its new engine, Gemini, at the end of 2023. With this, it has renewed its Google Bard service, a ChatGPT competitor now called Google Gemini. It also competes with Microsoft and Amazon in the provision of cloud services for businesses and professional users.
Microsoft
It is a big supporter of OpenAI. It has invested a total of 13 billion dollars in the startup and has integrated ChatGPT into its services. Its Copilot tool is included in frequently used products such as Word or PowerPoint as well as in Windows 11. This allows users to create all kinds of content according to their needs. Microsoft has always been a provider of productivity software and services for companies, which it wants to expand even further with the help of AI.

Amazon
Another big giant in this field is Amazon. The company has its artificial intelligence tools that are integrated into the cloud services it offers. However, the company also works with several partners whose AI models customers can use. One of the most notable is Claude, which was developed by Anthropic, a startup in which the company invested a hefty sum of 4 billion dollars in 2023. One of the services Amazon now offers is an AI tool for sellers on its e-commerce platform to automate responses to buyers.
Other start-ups
OpenAI often gets all the attention. But it's not the only startup making headway in the field of artificial intelligence. Among the companies attracting attention is Anthropic, which received around 6.45 billion dollars in investment in 2023. We have already mentioned that one of the companies backing the company is Amazon, but Google has also invested in the company. Its AI model, Claude, is also one of the most advanced on the market. It was founded by some former OpenAI employees to introduce stricter ethical principles for the development and operation of artificial intelligence.
Start-ups specializing in AI language models include Cohere and Jasper. But others focus on generating images, such as Midjourney or Stability AI.
In the legal sector, Harvey stands out, a startup founded in January 2022 in which OpenAI itself has invested. It uses the technology of its investor, GPT, as an engine for its services and offers support with contract analysis, compliance issues, legal research, or the creation of recommendations. Its services are similar to those of Casetext, which was recently acquired by Thomson Reuters for 650 million dollars. Its main product is CoCounsel, which is used for document review and legal research support as well as drafting.
