EY: AI Bridges $64T Infrastructure Funding Gap

EY says advanced AI could help close a massive $64 trillion gap in global infrastructure funding. That's the amount needed to meet future demands by 2050. Here's the thing: a new report from EY, called "The intelligence layer," suggests that agentic AI can connect fragmented systems and data across the infrastructure industry. What's interesting is that the problem isn't a lack of digital tools, but poor coordination. Rework and abandoned projects alone add up to 15% to costs, wasting hundreds of billions. The bottom line is that this AI could act as a "connective layer," improving visibility and reducing manual tasks. It could help professionals focus on higher-level work like governance and negotiation. This could mean more efficient projects and better use of your tax dollars in the future.
