S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) tech shares are 0.9% higher on Tuesday as investors continue to buy the dip.

Or should I say, buy the 'rout'?

Because that's what happened to ASX 200 tech shares between 29 August last year and 30 March this year.

Fears over artificial intelligence (AI) drove a 48% fall for the S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) in just seven months.

A strong turnaround for tech shares on the ASX and in US markets began on 31 March.

Since then, the ASX 200 Info Tech Index has risen 20.1% while the Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) has lifted 21%.

Here are five ASX 200 tech stocks that the experts say we should buy today.
