Galloway ends on a note that is simultaneously bullish on AI and bearish on AI stocks. AI could be like electricity — a foundational technology that distributes value broadly to end users and new companies rather than to incumbents or early investors. The fact that productivity gains are modest at legacy software firms but explosive at AI-native companies like Anthropic and OpenAI may be early evidence of the same dynamic. The danger is concentration: the 10 most valuable S&P 500 companies account for 43% of the index, so an AI correction is not a sector story but an economic contagion event. The ultimate irony, Galloway concludes, is that AI may have already delivered a de facto wealth redistribution — just not the kind AOC envisioned. It will pass value to the people who use the technology, not to the shareholders who funded it.
AI is likely to be like electricity, or jets, or the PC: transformative for society, ruinous for many early investors. The value won't concentrate in shareholder returns — it will leak to the people who use the technology. The biggest winners in the AI era may never own a single share of an AI company.
The 10 most valuable companies in the S&P 500 now account for 43% of the index's total market cap. Almost all of them are deeply tied to AI. An AI correction isn't just a tech story — it's a systemic economic event. When AI sneezes, the US economy's lungs fill with fluid.
