The expansion of artificial intelligence could boost annual global economic growth by 0.5 percentage points, according to the International Monetary Fund.

IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said global investment-to-GDP in AI will reach, and likely exceed, the amounts that previously went into building the railroads, the electricity grid, or the telecommunications network.

Historic scale of investment

Georgieva's comparison places the current scale of AI-related investment among the largest infrastructure-building waves in modern economic history, underscoring the scale of capital currently flowing into the sector.

The IMF's growth projection suggests a potentially significant economic upside from AI expansion, even as the fund and other institutions have separately flagged risks tied to the pace and sustainability of that same investment.

Further details on the timeframe over which the IMF expects the 0.5 percentage point growth boost to materialize, or the regions expected to benefit most, were not specified in the available reporting.
