Investing.com -- The recent announcement by Donald Trump of a $100 billion artificial intelligence (AI) investment venture is a significant signal for investors. The venture, which is expected to grow to $500 billion, is being led by industry leaders such as Masayoshi Son from SoftBank (TYO:9984), Sam Altman from OpenAI, and Larry Ellison from Oracle (NYSE:ORCL). The venture's primary goal is to advance AI infrastructure like data centers and physical campuses and to speed up real-world applications in sectors such as healthcare and energy.

Nigel Green, the CEO of deVere Group, a large independent financial advisory and asset management organization, has provided comments on this development. He has stated that while some analysts believe the AI rally might slow down this year, this news shows that the market is merely recalibrating, not experiencing a revolution in leadership.

Green emphasizes that AI is not a passing trend, but the foundation of the future. He warns that investors who do not recognize this might miss one of the most transformative opportunities of our time.

While companies like Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) are not officially supporting the initiative, they are expected to play significant roles in the broader ecosystem of AI-driven growth.

In 2023 and 2024, the "Magnificent Seven" tech giants, including Nvidia and Microsoft, drove entire indexes to record highs. These companies accounted for a large portion of the S&P 500's gains, making AI the defining story of the market. However, this dominance has led to speculation that AI's influence might be peaking.

deVere Group disagrees with this speculation. Green states that the recalibration seen in AI stocks is not a sign of decline, but a natural evolution after explosive growth. He points out that leaders in the sector, such as Nvidia and Microsoft, continue to push the boundaries of innovation, driving advancements in computing, software, and AI infrastructure.

Green further adds that AI's trajectory remains firmly upward as its applications continue to grow and expand across industries. He advises that this is not the time for investors to lose confidence.

AI is transforming not just technology sectors, but also healthcare, logistics, energy, and financial services. It has become a critical driver of productivity and efficiency, making it a foundational component of the global economy.

deVere Group emphasizes that early movers in transformative economic shifts often reap the most significant rewards. The compounding opportunities in AI are vast, and those who strategically position themselves now stand to benefit from the next wave of growth.

Green concludes by stating that AI is not a speculative play, but a structural shift in how industries operate. He suggests that there are clear pathways for investors to capitalize on this revolution, with companies like Nvidia and Microsoft remaining pivotal players, particularly as their contributions to AI ecosystems grow.

Finally, Green warns that analysts who dismiss AI as yesterday's story are missing the bigger picture. He asserts that Trump's AI initiative is a reminder of the immense and ongoing potential of artificial intelligence, and that the time to build exposure to this defining economic shift is now.
