For almost half of the investors surveyed by ING (47%), it is the time to invest in companies developing artificial intelligence (AI), according to the bank’s investor barometer on Monday.
A fifth of respondents say they plan to purchase shares, funds or ETFs (investments that seek to follow the evolution of a stock index) active in the field of AI over the coming months. An intention more popular among those under 35, where 41% plan to invest soon in artificial intelligence.
This is despite the fact that nearly 40% of investors surveyed consider that the risk of investing in AI is higher than elsewhere.
Nearly a third of respondents (31%) consider it important to invest in companies that use artificial intelligence.
Opinions regarding artificial intelligence differ by age and gender, with younger people and men being more favorable to it. Thus, 38% of men surveyed expect AI to have a positive impact on growth, compared to 27% who have negative opinions. Among women, this proportion is reversed: 33% foresee a negative impact, compared to 24% positive opinions.
Seventy percent of investors are convinced that artificial intelligence will have a “significant effect” on the labor market, leading to the disappearance but also creation of jobs.
Furthermore, around 60% of investors believe that AI represents a threat to privacy. Only 13% of those surveyed think the opposite.
ING surveyed a representative sample of 400 Belgian individual investors online in September.
