AI Trade: JPMorgan Says Every Investment Is Now a Bit AI

According to JPMorgan Asset Management, yes. Artificial intelligence is the new "everywhere trade," a trend impacting virtually every sector. It's a bit like when every startup was "dot-com" or every product was "eco-friendly": a label that sells.

David Lebovitz of JPMorgan Asset Management stated that artificial intelligence has become an "everywhere trade," influencing every sector. It's no longer just about investing in companies that make AI, but in those that use it or are influenced by it. A company producing server chips, for example, isn't "AI" itself, but it's crucial for running it. It's almost the perfect excuse to justify nearly any market move, isn't it?

Fortunately, investors are refining their ability to distinguish the risks and potential gains of artificial intelligence. Simply putting the acronym "AI" in a press release is no longer enough to make stock prices soar. Investors, in short, have become savvier.

This is the crucial lesson for Wall Street: understanding that not all AI bets are equal. Investing in a company developing language models is one thing; investing in one using AI to optimize its warehouse logistics is another. Market analysts are learning to look beyond the marketing, seeking true value. So, no more blank checks just for a magic word.

The question isn't whether or not to invest in AI, but how to do it. It's about understanding which companies will gain concrete, lasting benefits from integrating artificial intelligence, and which are just riding the wave without a solid strategy.

For investors, the game has become more subtle. You need to dig deep into financial statements and strategies, not just the glossary. In a market where "everything is AI," the real skill lies in separating the wheat from the chaff, avoiding speculative bubbles that, let's be honest, are never in short supply when there's a shiny new toy around.
