Gary Shields of Nassau Street Partners says artificial intelligence is becoming one of the biggest forces driving the U.S. economy, fueling capital expenditures and pushing companies across nearly every industry to invest in AI capabilities. Speaking on a optimistic morning for Wall Street, Shields explains how AI-related spending is supporting economic growth, corporate investment, and broader market momentum. While he sees similarities between today’s environment and the Dot-com era, he does not expect a comparable crash and instead favors investing in the companies building and supplying the AI pipeline.
