The Brookings Institution released a report projecting that US investment in AI infrastructure could total $10.3 trillion from 2025 to 2032, averaging 3.6% of GDP annually. The report notes that this spending would surpass past booms in railroads, highways, and electrification, but warns that much of it is debt-financed through opaque structures, posing systemic risk if AI revenues fall short.

• Brookings estimates US AI infrastructure investment will reach $10.3 trillion from 2025 to 2032, averaging 3.6% of GDP annually.
• The report warns that much of the spending is debt-financed through opaque structures, posing systemic risk if AI revenues fall short.
• The AI boom is creating hundreds of thousands of jobs and new billionaires, but also crowding out manufacturing and contributing to inflation.
