Where AI is showing up in the data6 passages · 1 marked

Not every AI dollar will translate directly to U.S. GDP. Much investment goes toward imported technology goods, which subtracts from GDP, and efforts to reshore manufacturing capacity will involve a long transition process. Data centers also employ few workers once built 2 , especially compared to a factory or office campus, limiting their multiplier effect through wage-driven consumption. Grid capacity and permitting bottlenecks may also limit expansion despite willing and available capital.
