Goldman Sachs: AI investment focus shifts to real-world industries; capital expenditure could reach $7.6 trillion over the next 6 years.
According to a recent report by Goldman Sachs, the focus of artificial intelligence (AI) investment has begun to extend to the broader real economy. While computing power, electricity, and data centers are still under rapid construction, AI is simultaneously entering real-world scenarios such as manufacturing, energy, logistics, defense, life sciences, and robotics. From 2026 to 2031, global AI capital expenditure surrounding computing, data centers, and electricity will reach approximately $7.6 trillion, with annual investment rising from $765 billion in 2026 to $1.64 trillion in 2031. Hyperscale cloud vendors may invest over $6 trillion in AI by 2030. The key to future competition will not only be models or chips, but also capital structure, energy supply, industry data, engineering capabilities, and deployment capabilities. (Cailian Press)
