Palantir Technologies (NYSE: PLTR) and Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ: SMCI) represent two different ways to invest in the expansion of the artificial intelligence (AI) market. Palantir's data mining platform aggregates and analyzes data from disparate sources to help organizations make more informed decisions. Super Micro Computer, which does business as Supermicro, produces pre-built servers for AI and machine learning applications.

Palantir gained a lot of attention because its Gotham platform is the default OS for data for the U.S. military and other government agencies. Its technology was reportedly used to track down Osama Bin Laden and controversially tapped by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to locate and deport undocumented immigrants. Supermicro impressed the market with a tight partnership with Nvidia to produce a broad range of pre-built AI servers.
