Verdict has listed five of the companies that trended the most in Twitter discussions related to artificial intelligence (AI), using research from GlobalDatas Technology Influencer platform.

The top companies are the most mentioned companies among Twitter discussions of more than 629 AI experts tracked by GlobalDatas Technology Influencer platform during the second quarter (Q2) of 2022.

Alphabets Google claiming its new AI models allow for nearly instant weather forecasts, the companys new AI Test Kitchen app helping users explore the potential of conversational AI, and Google Researchs collaboration with New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) Research Institute scientists to detect cellular signatures of Parkinsons disease, were some of the popular discussions in Q2 2022.

Ronald van Loon, CEO of the Intelligent World, an influencer network that connects businesses and experts to audiences, shared an article on multinational technology conglomerate Alphabets Google, a technology company, stating that its new AI models allow for nearly instantaneous weather forecasts. The increasingly important tool to address climate change, is in its initial stages of development, and is yet to be used in commercial systems, the article detailed. However, a non-peer-reviewed paper published by Googles researchers described how they were able to accurately predict rainfall up to six hours in advance at a one kilometre resolution from just minutes of calculation. Researchers notedthat short-term weather forecasts will be critical in crisis management and to minimise damages to life and property.

Alphabet Inc is the holding company of Google, a global technology company, headquartered in Mountain View, California, the US.
