I doubt, or at least hope, that no sort of managed fund for retirement (read: low risk) is going 15% on AI stuff. Regardless of what one thinks might happen, it has to be accepted at this is an obviously very high risk bet, because this all is screaming bubble even more than the era of 'zomg i flipped this house i financed on an insta-approved loan, installed granite counter tops, and walked away with $20k profit in 4 days.'
Failing to diversify is the fund managers' problem. Pension funds shouldn't have all their investment in a single countries' stock market (doesn't matter that most, if not all, of those companies operate worldwide, they are still from the US), not even in equity markets. A wiser investment manager (or individual investor) would put a chunk in different kind of equities, and diversify into fixed rate, precious metals, perhaps real estate... Not bet it all to the volatile S&P 500. "Past performance does not guarantee future results.".

But probably they will invest in the sp500, and tech companies make a big portion of the sp 500 and these tech companies also happen to be big in AI

Who's "we"? Most of us have zero say when the backroom circular deals are made.
