Goldman Sachs says AI delivered 'basically zero' GDP growth despite massive tech spending

Goldman Sachs chief economist Jan Hatzius reveals that AI contributed essentially nothing to US economic growth in 2025, despite hundreds of billions in investment. The problem: most spending flows to overseas manufacturing in Taiwan and Asia, not American GDP. While tech companies plan $700 billion in AI infrastructure spending for 2026, analysts calculate only 0.2% of the country's 2.2% growth came from AI investment.
