Many companies are vying to dominate the artificial intelligence (AI) space. The market is worth billions, and its only going to keep getting bigger. According to Grand View Research, by 2025 the global AI market is estimated to hit a stunning $390.9 billion! So, its no surprise that tech companies want a piece of the pie, and as big a piece as they can get.

Not surprisingly, two leaders of the AI sector are ones youre already probably well-acquainted with: Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT). But neither are the winners. No, that title now goes to Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU), known as the Google of China, which is beating its competitors in a big way.

On December 11, Baidus AI machine, Ernie, received top marks and broke records during the General Language Understanding Evaluation (GLUE) test. Put simply, this test determines how well an AI machine can understand human language. Ernie scored a 90.1 out of 100 the first A.I. system to score above 90 and beat out Microsofts score of 89.9 and Googles score of 89.7.

Since the results were released, the stock has made a nice move higher running up as much as 21%. Given the positive news and positive trading action, does this make Baidu a good AI investment?

MyPortfolio Gradersays no. In fact, it gives BIDU a solid F for its Total Grade, making this stock a Strong Sell.

It receives poor marks for its Sales Growth, Operating Margins Growth, Earnings Growth and Earnings Momentum. And even worse, it receives an F-rating for its Quantitative Grade. So, even though the stock has moved higher over the past month, theres been no significant increase in buying pressure. This tells us that the smart money is still staying far, far away.

So how do you play this growing AI trend? Well, its not with Microsoft or Google, either. Yes, they rate higher in Portfolio Grader Microsoft receives an A-rating and Google holds a C-rating but the real money isnt going to be made there. Its going to be made with the company that providesthe A.I. technology forallof them.

I call this theAI Master Key.

It is the company that makes the brain that all AI software needs to function, spot patterns, and interpret data.

Its known as the Volta Chip and its what makes the AI revolution possible.

Some of the biggest players in elite investing circles have large stakes in theAI Master Key:

Ron Baron, billionaire money manager with one of the biggest estates in the Hamptons.

Ken Fisher, author ofThe Ten Roads to Richesand other bestsellers, whos made theForbes400 Richest Americans list.

Mario Gabelli, namesake of the Gabelli Funds, with a salary of $85 million for one year Wall Streets highest paid CEO.

And some of the biggest companies are also its customers, including Google, Microsoft,Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Baidu, Facebook (NASDAQ:FB), Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and Alibaba(NYSE:BABA).

So it doesnt really matter which competitor wins the AI race, because this companys technology is used by all of them; therefore, its investors will profit off of all the AI success.

Ill tell you everything you need to know, as well as my buy recommendation, in my special report forGrowth Investor, The AI Master Key.
