America's booming artificial intelligence industry is fueling economic growth while widening the gap between high-income earners and lower-income households, reported by CNN.
According to the report, strong AI-related business investment helped drive U.S. economic growth during the first quarter. However, many Americans continue to struggle with weak wage growth, rising living costs and declining consumer confidence.
Economists told CNN that AI is creating significant wealth for technology companies, investors and highly skilled workers, while recent graduates, low-income families and many creative professionals face mounting financial pressures.
The report also said AI investment is masking weakness in traditional business spending, which would otherwise be declining.
Experts warned that unless the benefits of AI are shared more broadly, the technology boom could deepen economic inequality despite strengthening overall U.S. growth.
