Already, Apple pays Alphabet roughly $20 billion per year to make Google the default search engine in its Safari browser.

The Court of Justice of the European Union (EU) on Tuesday ruled against Alphabet's (GOOGL) Google, which had appealed a 2.4-billion-euro ($2.7 billion) fine for abusing its dominant position by favoring its own shopping services over those of its competitors.

Google Loses EU Appeal of $2.7B Fine

Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL, ETR:APC) and Google have been ordered to pay up by Europe's top court, which said the iPhone maker needed to stump up €13 billion for unpaid taxes in Ireland and Google must pay a €2.4 billion fine for abusing market dominance in shopping comparison services. An original ruling by the European Commission in 2016, the Irish government was said to be owed unpaid taxes due to unfair incentives it offered Apple.

With AI now central to tech investing, the challenge is distinguishing companies leveraging AI from those "faking it". The Rule of 40 serves as a key metric, in my view. I see AI applications falling into three main categories—Creative Work, Data Analytics & Cybersecurity, and Automation & Robotics—with a fourth "Picks & Shovels" category for hardware providers like Nvidia. Understanding these categories helps clarify AI's business impact. Furthermore, analyzing Rule of 40 scores shows that few companies are truly excelling in monetizing AI.
