Alphabet heads towards $2trn thanks to Google's AI prospects 

Alphabet’s misfiring AI Gemini product had been viewed as a major setback, but a conference in Las Vegas this week offered investors some reassurance. 

Investors are becoming more optimistic about Alphabet's artificial intelligence strategy, after a run of glitches and misfires that sent its shares tumbling.

The shares are heading back toward what would be a record $2trn (€1.87trn) market value — a milestone surpassed only by Microsoft, Apple, and Nvidia in the US.
