Bank of America unveiled a massive 18-month initiative to mobilize and deploy $250 billion across critical US infrastructure, targeting the computing, energy, and industrial systems needed to support artificial intelligence and accelerate the transition toward physical AI.
The announcement comes just days after Morgan Stanley launched its US Innovation Infrastructure Initiative, which aims to facilitate $1.5 trillion in capital raising and financing over the next decade. The back-to-back commitments signal that Wall Street is positioning for a multiyear capital-spending supercycle spanning data centers, power generation, grid modernization, semiconductors, advanced manufacturing and robotics.
