Here's Why Microsoft Is Making Its Own AI Chip for Hololens
This week, Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) stepped further into the artificial intelligence (AI) market when the company said that its next version of its augmented reality glasses, called Hololens, will come with an AI coprocessor.
It might not seem like that big of a deal at face value. After all, the first version of Hololens isn't exactly an integral part of the company's business -- it's only available to developers right now -- but the announcement is more of a bet on Microsoft's potential in the broader AI market. Simply put, Alphabet's (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) Google and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) already have, or are working on, their own AI chips and Microsoft can't afford to be left behind.
