- The AI build-out is being called the biggest economic bet in U.S. history, with capital flows shifting away from housing and other sectors toward AI infrastructure, per the WSJ and a top economist cited in coverage
- A Brookings study projects the total AI build-out will cost $10 trillion and concludes the spending cycle will likely end in a market correction
Why it matters: At a projected $10 trillion, the AI build-out rivals the largest infrastructure booms in U.S. history — if Brookings is right that it ends in a market correction, the fallout would hit the housing sector, which is already losing investment dollars to AI spending, according to the coverage.
