Goldman Sachs Projects Global AI Investment to Reach $1 Trillion in 2026
Goldman Sachs Research projects global investment in artificial intelligence to reach around $1 trillion in 2026, rising from 0.9% of global GDP in 2026 to 1.4% by 2028. The forecast includes $581 billion in US investment and broader AI spending beyond hyperscalers. Cumulative AI investment since 2022 could total $1.8 trillion by 2026. While the pace and scale of AI spending remain uncertain, these levels align with historical technology buildouts, potentially supporting capital expenditure growth over the next two years.
