With market volatility continuing to create uncertainty for investors, exchange traded funds (ETFs) remain a great way to gain diversified exposure to the share market without having to pick individual stocks.

If you have $5,000 to invest into the share market, let's see if the ASX ETFs listed below could be top picks right now. Here's what you need to know about them:

BetaShares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF (ASX: ATEC)

For investors looking to capitalise on Australia's growing technology sector, the BetaShares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF could be a top choice. This ASX ETF provides exposure to the top Australian tech companies, including market leaders such as WiseTech Global (ASX: WTC), Xero Limited (ASX: XRO), and TechnologyOne Ltd (ASX: TNE).

Tech stocks have significant growth potential, and Australia's tech sector has been expanding rapidly. By investing in this fund, you gain access to a diversified portfolio of innovative companies positioned to benefit from digital transformation trends. If you're bullish on the future of Australian tech, this ETF could be a great addition to your portfolio. Betashares recently tipped the fund as one to buy.

BetaShares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF (ASX: RBTZ)

Artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics are transforming industries worldwide, and the BetaShares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF offers investors easy exposure to some of the leading companies driving this revolution. It was also recently named as one to buy by the fund manager.

This ASX ETF tracks the Indxx Global Robotics & Artificial Intelligence Thematic Index, which focuses on identifying the industries and sub-themes positively impacted by robotics and AI.

It includes major players like Nvidia, which is at the forefront of AI development. However, it also provides exposure to other industries leveraging robotics and AI, such as healthcare and engineering. Given the rapid advancements in AI and automation, this fund offers a compelling investment opportunity for those looking to tap into this high-growth sector.

BetaShares Global Quality Leaders ETF (ASX: QLTY)

Finally, for those seeking a more conservative yet highly effective long-term investment, the BetaShares Global Quality Leaders ETF is worth considering. This ASX ETF follows a rules-based approach to identify companies with strong fundamentals, including high return on equity, low debt-to-capital ratios, stable earnings, and strong cash flow generation.

Its holdings include global blue-chip companies such as Arista Networks, Cisco Systems, Visa, Procter & Gamble, and Johnson & Johnson. The philosophy behind QLTY aligns closely with Warren Buffett's approach of investing in "wonderful companies at a fair price." This could make it a great choice for those who want to follow in the footsteps of the legendary investor. Betashares has named the fund as one to consider buying.
