We recently compiled a list of the Top 10 Hot AI Stocks Dominating Headlines. In this article, we are going to take a look at where GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. (NASDAQ:GFS) stands against the other AI stocks.
While AI is transforming industries worldwide and is expected to elevate our society to new heights, Caleb Maresca at New York University shared a contrarian view in his latest study. The economist believes that transformative AI could upend economies, decimating wages and lifting interest rates to extremely high levels.
"My findings reveal that expectations of [transformative AI] can substantially affect current economic conditions even before any technological breakthrough occurs. When AI automates a job — whether a truck driver, lawyer, or researcher — the wages previously earned by the human worker don’t vanish or automatically transform into broader economic gains. Instead, they flow to whoever controls the AI system performing that job."
He highlighted that expectations of AI gutting the price businesses pay for work could massively drive interest rates by up to 16% in some scenarios. In such a situation, the cost of launching a new business or purchasing a house could increase to unaffordable levels, which could compel people to save more and spend less, creating a “form of prisoner’s dilemma in saving behavior.”
He urged people to collectively push politicians to enact policies, which ensure that the wealth created by transformative AI is shared broadly, especially if AI leads to persistently high unemployment.
We selected AI stocks by reviewing news articles, stock analysis, and press releases. We listed the stocks in ascending order of their hedge fund sentiment taken from Insider Monkey’s database of over 1000 hedge funds.
