Artificial intelligence (AI) stocks have become popular in recent months. The gains in some AI names have become eye-popping as investors and consumers become increasingly aware of the possible productivity gains these stocks can drive. Nonetheless, long-term investors tend to seek stocks that will not rise and fall as trends come and go. Instead, they probably want to look to companies that operate sustainable businesses that could potentially drive AI-driven profits for decades.

Six years from now -- 2030 -- isn't a long time, and even if not every investor has a long time horizon, many have at least until 2030. If you have longer, you'll see your money grow even more.
