Google-parent Alphabet on Tuesday reported profit and revenue that beat expectations as its AI-amped cloud and search ads businesses thrived.
The tech giant said its net income for the recently ended quarter was $23.6 billion on revenue that climbed 14 percent to $84.7 billion when compared to the same period a year earlier.
"Our strong performance this quarter highlights ongoing strength in Search and momentum in Cloud," said Google chief executive Sundar Pichai.
Alphabet reported that its cloud computing unit took in $10.3 billion in revenue compared with $8 billion in the same quarter last year, while search ad revenue climbed to $48.5 billion from $42.6 billion.
The ramped up revenue comes as investors worry that money being poured into artificial intelligence may not be generating significant returns for tech companies.
