Tech Giants to Spend Over USD 1 Trillion on AI by 2027, Supporting Economic Growth
Major technology companies are projected to invest over USD 1 trillion in artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure by 2027, driven by rising demand for computing capacity, according to a UBS report. This investment is expected to support US economic growth, contributing around 0.75 percentage points to GDP growth in early 2026. While AI spending boosts household wealth and consumption, evidence of significant productivity gains or job displacement remains limited. In Southeast Asia, AI also supports digital economy growth despite inflation and geopolitical challenges.
