Personal assistants such as Alexa and Siri are being offered by the biggest names in technology, and Morgan Stanley analysts said Wednesday that one company should be favored to take a big chunk of that market as artificial intelligence adds to their capabilities.<\/p>\n

\n AI play still faces \u201cuncertainty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Current assistants like Amazon\u2019s Alexa, Google\u2019s Assistant and Apple\u2019s Siri have had \u201climited\u201d commercial and consumer adoption, the analysts said, but they see assistants driven by large language models, or LLMs, \u201cchanging this\u2026with these tools enablers of the structural acceleration in online consumer spend and online ad growth we see coming from AI.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe see transformer models and large language models (LLMs) leading to the development of next-gen AI assistants with increased personalization, incremental use cases (interactive search and cross-sector online shopping with follow ups, improved personalization and recommendations, calendar management\/scheduling, automated actions\/task completion, monitoring of health status and financial condition, improved education\/tutoring, and more) and higher consumer utility,\u201d Morgan Stanley analysts \u2014 Brian Nowak covers Amazon, Alphabet and Meta, while Eric Woodring covers Apple \u2014 wrote in the note.<\/p>\n

The analysts see AI as a \u201c$6 trillion opportunity,\u201d but believe that competing and winning in the assistant category will require three essentials: Hardware, proprietary data and AI investment\/capabilities. Here are how the four Big Tech companies break down in those regards, according to the analysts.<\/p>\n

Google<\/h2>\n

Google has about 3 billion users on an estimated 2.6 billion Android devices and 350 million from other devices, the analysts said, but data is \u201ca key differentiator.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYouTube, Google Maps and productivity tools like Gmail is industry leading,\u201d Morgan Stanley said. Plus, Google \u201chas existing partner\/developer relationships through its AI developer tools that we expect to further its data-set and reach over time,\u201d while \u201cstate-of-the-art LLMs and multimodal models such as LaMDA, PaLM, and MUM are likely to be differentiated to build personal assistants on top of.\u201d<\/p>\n

Morgan Stanley\u2019s note coincided with Google\u2019s I\/O 2023 developer conference Wednesday, in which executives touted Google\u2019s AI developments and plans.<\/p>\n

Amazon<\/h2>\n

Amazon has the largest one-person consumer-purchase dataset and expanding AI capabilities, but its \u201chardware lags best of breed\u201d even with 400 million devices, compared with Google and Apple, analysts said.<\/p>\n

Meta Platforms<\/h2>\n

Meta Platforms has the user reach, data and AI expertise, the analysts wrote, but is woefully deficient in hardware.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile Meta does not have a large hardware-installed base, its reach is underscored by 3 billion Daily Active People across its family of apps,\u201d Morgan Stanley said. <\/p>\n

Meta has about 3.8 billion active monthly users globally between Facebook and Instagram, and 1.8 billion on WhatsApp, the firm said, citing IDC figures.<\/p>\n

Apple<\/h2>\n

Meanwhile, Apple is \u201cpositioned to deliver a broad-based personal AI assistant, but AI model capabilities are less clear.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hardware is not a problem, with about 2 billion devices \u2014 roughly 1.2 billion of those iPhones \u2014 and most of those are compatible with Siri, which is well-positioned to be integrated with LLMs, and Apple has a ton of user data.<\/p>\n

The lack of any performance data on Apple\u2019s AI capabilities are still a question mark, however.<\/p>\n

\u201cLittle has been said around whether Apple is building its own LLMs, or if they\u2019ll decide to partner with an open-source vendor such as StabilityAI,\u201d Morgan Stanley said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n

All four companies have been seeing stock gains this year, as excitement for generative AI has ramped up. Apple\u2019s stock is up 33.6% in 2023, Facebook parent Meta has nearly doubled with a 93.7% gain, Alphabet shares have increased 26.7% and Amazon\u2019s stock is higher by 31.2%. For comparison, the S&P 500 index
\n SPX,
\n -0.16%<\/bg-quote>
\n has gained 7.3% so far this year, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average
\n DJIA,
\n -0.03%<\/bg-quote>
\n is up 1.3%.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
