    Three Safe, Inexpensive Ways to Invest in AI


    Artificial intelligence is no longer a futuristic concept—it’s here, it’s growing rapidly, and it’s reshaping industries worldwide.


    According to Grand View Research, the global AI market could expand from about $137 billion in 2022 to more than $1.81 trillion by 2030. That’s more than a tenfold increase in just eight years. Meanwhile, Accenture research suggests that AI will, on average, boost corporate profitability by 38%, potentially adding $14 trillion in additional gross value to the global economy by 2035.


    Even experts at MIT Technology Review predict there’s a 50% chance AI will surpass humans at “more or less everything” within the next 45 years. While timelines may vary, one thing is clear: the AI revolution is accelerating, and investors stand to benefit in a major way.


    The problem? Not every investor feels comfortable buying individual AI stocks like Nvidia (SYM: NVDA) or Advanced Micro Devices (SYM: AMD). These names have already soared, and picking winners in a rapidly evolving field can be intimidating. That’s where AI-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs) come in.


    ETFs provide diversification, professional management, and cost efficiency. By holding a basket of companies leading the charge in AI, they allow investors to gain exposure to the trend without betting everything on a single stock. Better still, many AI ETFs remain relatively inexpensive and have plenty of upside potential as the AI megatrend matures.


    Here are three safe, low-cost ways to invest in artificial intelligence right now.








    ETF: Global X Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF (SYM: AIQ)


    For broad-based exposure to AI at a reasonable cost, the Global X Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF (SYM: AIQ) is a solid choice.



    • Expense ratio: 0.68%




    • Holdings: 86 companies




    • Top names: Palantir, Oracle, Broadcom, Netflix, Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta Platforms




    The AIQ ETF focuses on companies that could benefit from the advancement and adoption of artificial intelligence across multiple sectors. This includes software leaders, semiconductor giants, and cloud infrastructure players that make AI possible.


    Since bottoming out around $31 in April, AIQ has already climbed to $45. From here, analysts see room for it to approach $60, representing a potential gain of nearly 33% from current levels.


    For investors who want a diversified, lower-risk entry into AI without overpaying, AIQ offers a balanced mix of growth and stability.

    ETF: Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF (SYM: BOTZ)


    While AI gets most of the attention, robotics is just as critical to the future economy. The Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF (SYM: BOTZ) allows investors to capture both themes in one fund.



    • Expense ratio: 0.68%




    • Holdings: 49 companies




    • Top names: Nvidia, Keyence, DynaTrace, SMC Corp., Intuitive Surgical, Upstart Holdings, C3.ai




    BOTZ focuses on companies leading in robotics, automation, and AI applications. These businesses are expected to see rising demand as industries increasingly rely on robotics for manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and more.


    After sliding to about $24 in April, BOTZ has recovered strongly to $33.80. Looking forward, a test of $40 per share seems achievable, especially as robotics adoption accelerates in both developed and emerging economies.


    For investors who want exposure to the “physical” side of AI—the machines, devices, and systems that put artificial intelligence into action—BOTZ provides a direct and diversified path.

    ETF: Roundhill Generative AI & Technology ETF (SYM: CHAT)


    Of all the AI funds, the Roundhill Generative AI & Technology ETF (SYM: CHAT) may be the most exciting. It’s the world’s first ETF dedicated to generative AI, the specific field of artificial intelligence that powers applications like ChatGPT, image generation tools, and next-generation automation systems.



    • Expense ratio: 0.75%




    • Holdings: 38 companies




    • Top names: Nvidia, Alphabet, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, Oracle, Palantir, Alibaba




    CHAT is more concentrated than AIQ or BOTZ, making it a higher-risk, higher-reward option. It focuses heavily on companies at the forefront of generative AI development and commercialization.


    Since bottoming out around $29 in April, CHAT has surged to $53.59. If momentum continues, the ETF could test the $60 level in the near term. Longer term, its focus on generative AI makes it one of the more compelling thematic ETFs for growth investors.
