Tech-focused AI Companies

There will be AI companies focused on technology development. They will only set up and operate R&D centers.  The founders and CEOs typically possess product class expertise.

Their goal is to research technology superior to competitors, which will increase the value of the Intangible Asset (Technology) on their corporate balance sheets.  The increased balance sheet will allow them to raise capital from the stock market by way of issuing new shares.

They are eager to sell their technologies to interested companies and generate revenues to fund their R&D operations. Their customers will be those companies who find it more cost effective to buy technologies than doing the research on their own. This also provides a springboard for latecomer companies to quickly catch up with the competition on technology.

Tech-focused AI may ultimately decide to manufacture and roll out products on their own using their leading technologies. Years of research they have invested into the technologies will give them advantages in competing for market shares.

These tech-focused AI can also be targets of acquisitions by larger corporations and may end up being assimilated into a larger corporation group.

From the perspective of stock traders, the stock prices of tech-focused companies can be highly volatile as they have to stay ahead of the competition in terms of technology leadership or they will lose their competitive advantages and market values quickly.
