Bob Elliott, co-founder and CIO at Unlimited, challenges the widespread view that AI investment is significantly boosting the U.S. economy. According to Elliott, after considering related imports and the pre-AI pace of software spending, the overall macroeconomic impact remains minimal.
Elliott has previously pointed to headwinds in the real economy, noting that U.S. manufacturing growth remains below 2022 levels despite a 0.6 percent annual uptick. He has also commented on market sentiment around global events, highlighting that markets expect a rapid resolution to the Iran conflict even as oil prices stay elevated. These recent views frame Elliott’s cautious stance on the impact of new investment trends.
