Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping industries and economies at an unprecedented rate, driving remarkable growth and transformation worldwide. With the so-called ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’ well underway owing to massive investments in AI and its prospects of driving economic growth, AI is truly taking over the world by storm.

Amid this backdrop, investors can consider fundamentally stable AI ETFs, Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF (BOTZ), Robo Global Robotics and Automation Index ETF (ROBO), and Amplify AI Powered Equity ETF (AIEQ), as promising opportunities for AI growth.

The forthcoming AI and its integration into various industries has aptly been named the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The transformative power of AI, along with the Internet of Things (IoT) and robotics, are steadily changing the way conventional industries, economies, and societies function, bringing in a new age of innovation.

With its branches spreading into a wide array of industries such as cloud computing, biotechnology, education, sales, marketing, cyber security, and so many more, investment in AI infrastructure has also never seen better days. According to a report by IDC, infrastructure spending in AI is expected to surpass $100 billion by 2028.

With such an impactful role in various corners of the economy and driven by higher investments, AI is set to contribute up to $15.70 trillion to the global economy by 2030.
