AI's Financial Benefits Limited to Tech Sector, Apollo Analysis Finds

A recent analysis by Apollo Global Management indicates that the financial benefits of artificial intelligence have been largely confined to the technology sector. While major tech firms like Nvidia and Meta have experienced significant revenue growth and improved profit margins due to AI, the broader corporate landscape has seen no such payoff. Economist Torsten Slok noted that for most companies outside of tech, AI spending is viewed as a cost rather than a growth driver, with metrics like revenue per worker and productivity remaining stagnant.
