Needless to say, over the last three years, the Artificial Intelligence explosion has been at the top of almost every investor's mind.

The most oversold stocks in the consumer discretionary sector presents an opportunity to buy into undervalued companies.

Artificial intelligence is going to change the way many U.S. companies do business. That could mean big profit gains for some—and existential threats for others.
