The Best ETFs for Artificial Intelligence (AI) Exposure
2025-10-27 07:30:00 ET
Artificial intelligence (AI) creates investment opportunities across multiple layers, from the software platforms to the chips running them and the data centers housing the hardware. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) offer diversified exposure to these segments without requiring individual stock selection, but the category spans everything from broad AI platform funds to narrow infrastructure plays in nuclear power and quantum computing .
Two approaches dominate AI ETF construction. Core funds hold the companies directly building and deploying AI – cloud providers, software platforms, and chip designers. Spillover funds target the picks-and-shovels businesses enabling AI deployment: semiconductor manufacturers, data center landlords, cybersecurity providers, and power infrastructure. The right mix depends on whether you want concentrated exposure to AI winners or broader participation in the infrastructure buildout.
