We just covered the Mark Cuban Stock Portfolio: 8 Best Stocks to Buy and NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) ranks 3rd on this list.

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is one of the best AI stocks to buy. Mark Cuban often talks about the importance of AI in his posts on social networking platform X. Earlier this month, Cuban wrote to his followers on X that the first step towards knowing how AI will be used by a company was if the CEO had taken the time to understand AI, rather than delegate that skill. Per Cuban, “If the CEO has no clue, start to think about another job. Your company is going to be challenged over the next few years”. Cuban also talked about AI literacy in his post, outlining that for people who were intellectually challenged by their job, AI would further enable them to contribute to that growth. Per the billionaire, “The company will need as many people like you as it can get. It has a really good chance to outperform its competitors because it has an AI literate workforce”.

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is the poster child of the kind of AI literacy that Cuban is talking about in his post. In an era where tech firms are announcing mass layoffs, the chip giant is actively hiring for many positions. Cuban, in the same tweet mentioned above, also stressed this as a sign of growth, noting that more AI that leads to market success will lead to more employees, not less. Cuban claimed that AI was not easy to implement since it was new to everyone. He added that it was not a silver bullet that guaranteed success, but a tool that could accelerate growth and help smart people make smarter decisions. At the end of his tweet, he said that AI would lead to, “more competition to hire those that can stay up to speed and implement AI in personal and corporate workflows”.
