đź’° Big Tech Accumulate $350 Billion in Debt for AI Race

Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Oracle have increased their debt by $350 billion over the last five years to finance the development of data centers for AI. This year, hyperscaler spending on infrastructure and Nvidia chips could reach $725 billion.

🌍 A fundamental shift is occurring in Big Tech economics—from software to capital-intensive infrastructure. Rising interest expenses create a risk of financial instability if AI monetization fails to meet expectations.

👤 Investment risk in the sector is growing. The increase in corporate debt could lead to changes in development strategies, which will affect the availability and cost of new AI tools.
