I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.

AI spending significantly contributed to GDP growth in the first half of 2025, with AI-related expenditures adding about 1.64 percentage points to Q1 and 0.97 percentage points to Q2. Without AI, Q1 GDP would have contracted by 2.2% instead of 0.6%, and Q2 would have expanded by 2.8% instead of 3.8%. The BEA has delayed Q3 GDP stats due to a government shutdown, with updates expected by December 23.
