Investing in a company and/or integrating with its technology is not the same as acquiring it. For example, it's quite clear that AI is a major part of Google's strategy from the personnel that they have working on it (e.g. Jeff Dean) to the actual results they deliver, both in research and products. These come directly from their full time employees, not partners or investments. Microsoft is not particularly noteworthy in the field.
