If Economists Are Correct About the Future of AI, Here Are 2 Global ETFs to Buy -- and 2 to Avoid

A recent survey shows reasons to be bullish on international stocks. But some global ETFs look more bullish than others.

Recent research suggests that the future economic growth and productivity gains from artificial intelligence (AI) may not be confined to the United States, but rather be widely shared across the globe. A survey of 94 economists found that 54% of respondents believed that AI-related gains will be seen in the Group of 20 (G20) nations, which includes both developed and emerging market economies.

Developed economies like the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the European Union are expected to be particularly well-positioned to adopt AI and capitalize on productivity gains. Emerging markets, on the other hand, might face challenges due to weaker infrastructure and less readiness to adopt AI technologies. This outlook could make international developed market stocks a more appealing investment choice for those looking to capitalize on the future growth potential of AI.
