Goldman Sachs analysts examined the great AI infrastructure build-out from opposite ends of the telescope.
Goldman Sachs projects $7.6 trillion in AI capital expenditure from 2026 to 2031, with highly variable estimates.
KEY POINTS
- Nvidia captures roughly 75% of AI-related compute spending, benefiting far more than hyperscalers or enterprises.
- Despite $30–40 billion invested, 95% of enterprise AI pilots are returning zero measurable value.
- Hyperscalers are increasing AI infrastructure spending even as returns lag, driven by FOMO, not ROI.
- Goldman now estimates AI will displace 6–7% of jobs in a decade, down from earlier drastic forecasts.
