Goldman Unveils New Investment Theme: AI Resilience

Goldman Sachs has launched a new investment theme dubbed 'AI Resilience', targeting companies that are less likely to be disrupted by artificial intelligence.

This strategy focuses on firms with operations requiring physical execution, human oversight, or strict regulation — areas where AI adoption may be slower or less effective.

Bullish on AI Infrastructure Leaders

In the long term, Goldman remains optimistic about the AI infrastructure space, including areas like computing power, cloud services, data centers, development tools, and cybersecurity.

  • Oracle is favored for its strong position in cloud and enterprise databases.
  • Microsoft is highlighted for its AI platform and cloud infrastructure capabilities.

Bearish on AI-Vulnerable Software Firms

On the flip side, the firm recommends shorting companies whose business models rely heavily on software automation or standardized workflows — sectors more exposed to AI disruption.

Firms like these are seen as particularly vulnerable to the rapid advancement of AI technologies.
