Artificial intelligence (AI) investing is a trend that's not going away anytime soon. AI has presented itself as a way to assist us in everything we do, making us more efficient. Greater efficiencies lead to higher profits for businesses, so management teams are pursuing as many ways as possible to implement AI in their processes. While many companies benefit from AI adoption, not all are great buys due to extreme optimism.

Volatility is a given when putting your money to work on Wall Street. However, volatility has been heightened for a majority of the decade. Over the previous four years, Wall Street's major stock indexes have bounced between bear and bull markets in successive years. When volatility and uncertainty rule the roost on Wall Street, investors have a tendency to seek out the safety of time-tested and outperforming industry leaders.

Many tech stocks soared over the past year as interest rates stabilized and investors eagerly rushed toward AI-related stocks in anticipation of a major AI boom. However, that buying frenzy also inflated some tech stocks' valuations to historical highs. So for investors who are wary of buying the market's priciest tech stocks, it might be a good idea to look for the cheaper value plays that pay steady dividends instead.
