7 Non-Tech Stocks Using Tech to Win
Technology's a great thing when used by society to better itself. Often, when investors think of great technology, companies like Tesla Inc. (TSLA) and Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN) spring to mind.

However, truth be told, technology is used by all kinds of businesses to make their companies more efficient.

"In ten years, every company will have to be an artificial intelligence company, or they won't be competitive," Loup Ventures Managing Partner Doug Clinton wrote in a July blog. "While traditional tech companies have been very forward about their advancements and investments in AI, there are non-tech companies that are poised to benefit from their efforts in AI."

I've come up with seven non-tech stocks using technology to win.
