The upsurge in artificial intelligence (AI) stocks began in December 2022, and since then 9 AI stocks have jumped a whopping 116.6%, on average, as of the end of May 2023, going up a full 53.3% during the month of May alone. Another 12 that I am following are up 42.3%, on average, since the beginning of 2023 and went up 20.6% during the month of May.

Given the aforementioned facts, it is evident that many stocks in the AI category are going parabolic. A ccording to Wikipedia, "going parabolic" is when stocks go up very fast, increasing exponentially month after month and that is exactly what the 21 AI stocks have done so far in 2023.
