5 Biggest AI ETFs in 2025

5 Biggest AI ETFs in 2025

For investors who want to gain exposure to artificial intelligence stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are a popular avenue, because AI ETFs allow investors exposure to the overall market rather than individual AI stocks.

AI investing has exploded in popularity in recent years, with many major tech stocks focusing on developing their AI capabilities.

However, the sector has a long history. The phrase ‘artificial intelligence’ has been around since 1955, when it was used to describe a new computer science subdiscipline. Today we use AI to describe simulated intelligence in machines. In other words, machines with AI are capable of simulating thinking like people and mimicking their actions.

As applications for AI rapidly expand, it’s clear that this market isn’t going away anytime soon.

Research conducted by Markets and Markets suggests the AI industry will be worth over US$1.34 trillion by 2030, increasing at a compound annual growth rate of 35.7 percent between 2024 and 2030. With that much money going into the sector, there is certainly no shortage of ways for investors to add AI investments to their portfolios.

According to ETFdb.com, the AI ETFs on its list are required to meet one of three criteria:

  • Focus on stocks developing new products, services or technological improvements in AI-related research.
  • Have 25 percent portfolio exposure to companies that spend money on AI research and development.
  • Choose individual securities to be included in the fund based on their use of AI methods.
