Large technology companies will invest a total of 650 billion US dollars into the AI field by 2026.

BlockBeats News, February 6 — According to Bloomberg, as the artificial intelligence race intensifies, Google, Amazon, META, and Microsoft plan to invest approximately $650 billion in data centers, chips, and infrastructure — an unprecedented level of investment in this century.

Driven by the expectation that the artificial intelligence market will exhibit a winner-takes-all pattern, related expenditures are expected to grow by about 60% year-over-year. Amazon alone plans to invest $200 billion, Alphabet plans to invest $185 billion, Meta plans to invest as much as $135 billion, and Microsoft plans to invest around $105 billion.

The large-scale construction has put pressure on energy supply, labor, and chip manufacturing, raising concerns about bottlenecks — but no company is willing to fall behind.
