As someone deeply interested in the ever-evolving world of AI, I recently conducted a poll on LinkedIn to gauge the opinions of professionals and enthusiasts about who holds the reins of the future of Artificial Intelligence. I was thrilled to receive a robust response, reflecting a wide range of perspectives and insights. The options provided for this critical question were Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Google, and Microsoft. Below, I’ll delve into the results and offer a glimpse into the fascinating predictions about the future that these opinions may be pointing towards.

1. Google — 42% of Votes

Today: Google’s investments in AI and various products have secured the lead in the poll.
