What happened
BlackRock rolled out the iShares Future Robotics and Related Technologies ETF, which is designed to invest in companies that use intelligent machines to streamline tasks in industries like transportation and manufacturing. Defiance also launched AI-linked ETFs. Jay Jacobs, US head of equity ETFs at BlackRock, noted that AI is not a single trade and that market risk remains concentrated in a relatively narrow group of companies.

Why it matters
The introduction of these funds reflects growing institutional interest in the AI investment thesis. BlackRock stated that AI has emerged as a driver of both returns and risk even in broad market portfolios. Investors can now choose from numerous ETFs that explicitly track the AI investment theme.
