Big Tech Company to Invest $650 Billion in AI by 2026

BlockBeats News, February 6th, according to Bloomberg, as the artificial intelligence race intensifies, Google, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft plan to invest about $650 billion in data centers, chips, and infrastructure—reaching an unprecedented investment level this century.

Driven by the expectation of a winner-takes-all situation in the artificial intelligence market, related spending is expected to increase by about 60% year-on-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 about $105 billion.

The large-scale construction has put pressure on energy supply, workforce, and chip production, triggering concerns about bottlenecks—yet no company is willing to fall behind.
