The best ASX ETFs to ride the AI and tech megatrends

I think it is fair to say that artificial intelligence is reshaping the global economy.

For those looking to gain exposure to this powerful theme, a number of ASX exchange traded funds (ETFs) provide targeted access to the world's leading innovators in AI, semiconductors, and next-gen internet companies.

Let's take a look at three top ASX ETFs that could suit investors aiming to ride the long-term tech wave. They are as follows:

Global X Artificial Intelligence ETF (ASX: GXAI)

The Global X Artificial Intelligence ETF offers a direct route to companies at the forefront of artificial intelligence development. This fund tracks the Indxx Artificial Intelligence & Big Data Index, which includes global leaders involved in machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, and computer vision.

With AI adoption rapidly expanding across healthcare, finance, cybersecurity, and more, this ASX ETF captures a diverse group of businesses poised to benefit from this structural shift. The fund includes names such as Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), a dominant force in AI chips, and Palantir Technologies (NYSE: PLTR), known for its advanced analytics platforms.

Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)

Another ASX ETF for investors to look at is the Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF. This could be a top option for investors that want exposure to Asia's digital revolution. It provides access to 50 of the region's most powerful tech giants, spanning e-commerce, artificial intelligence, robotaxis, cloud computing, social media, and semiconductors.

This includes tech titans like Tencent Holdings (SEHK: 0700), TSMC (NYSE: TSM), and Samsung Electronics. These are companies deeply entrenched in AI, 5G, and consumer tech ecosystems.

Global X FANG+ ETF (ASX: FANG)

Finally, the Global X FANG+ ETF could be an ASX ETF for investors to look at this month.

Few groups have defined modern tech dominance like the FANG stocks—Facebook (Meta), Amazon, Netflix, and Google (Alphabet). This fund gives investors access to them and more.

The Global X FANG+ ETF tracks the NYSE FANG+ Index, which comprises ten of the most influential US-based technology and internet companies.

These are businesses with wide moats, global reach, and massive research and development budgets, often leading the charge in AI and digital services. While this ASX ETF may carry more volatility due to its concentrated nature, it offers pure exposure to some of the highest growth names in the market. And many of these are at the cutting edge of artificial intelligence, cloud infrastructure, and the future of the internet.
