Don't let the ETF's name fool you

Microsoft's Copilot, for example, provides better AI integration and increased usage of Microsoft's products such as Microsoft Cloud, including Azure and Intelligent Cloud. Apple, on the other hand, has growing AI exposure through Siri and its Apple Intelligence tool -- something that seems to be picking up steam.

But wait... there's more (AI) exposure to be had

Lest investors surmise that it's only tech stocks that translate to AI exposure, there are a variety of stocks found in other sectors that are also included in the fund that provide additional types of AI exposure. Even healthcare stocks, which only have a 4.8% weighting in the fund, can provide AI exposure., for example, is a leader in robotic surgical systems, and it offers an AI-enabled analytics tool that assembles procedural data from its da Vinci platforms to optimize clinical outcomes and training.

The Amazon Web Services cloud computing platform provides essential infrastructure for AI computing, while Amazon has additional AI exposure through tools like Amazon Bedrock.
