January 9, 2026 - Artificial intelligence has firmly established itself as the dominant force behind U.S. economic growth in 2025, with economists now attributing the bulk of GDP expansion to AI-related investments. According to detailed analyses from institutions including Harvard and the Federal Reserve, AI capital expenditures—primarily in data centers, semiconductors, servers, and advanced software—contributed approximately 1.1 percentage points to real GDP growth during the first half of the year. In certain quarters, this figure represented more than 90% of total growth when excluding the effects of imports. Harvard economist Jason Furman has noted that, absent this AI-driven capex surge, underlying U.S. economic growth would have hovered near a meager 0.1%, exposing significant vulnerabilities in traditional sectors such as manufacturing, consumer spending, and real estate, which remained largely flat or contracted amid higher interest rates and geopolitical uncertainty.
