Microsoft is dominating the artificial intelligence (AI) software spending, with about 70% of spending in the last 12 months tied to the Microsoft ecosystem.

In contrast, Google parent company Alphabet reported slower overall revenue growth for the second quarter despite investing in AI. While there was a frenzy around AI spending a year ago, companies now seem to be more cautious and focused on simple and limited AI applications.
