Is the AI Boom Turning Into a Spending Bubble?

AI spending is skyrocketing, with Big Tech firms pouring billions into data centres to fuel the AI boom. But experts warn that this massive investment may be forming an economic bubble. Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Meta, and Nvidia together could spend $371 billion this year alone, with projections reaching $5.2 trillion by 2030. However, many analysts question whether AI revenues will ever catch up to these costs, especially when most AI projects haven’t yet shown clear profits.

Key Highlights

Big Tech may need $2 trillion in new annual revenue by 2030 to justify current data centre spending.
Experts like Harris Kupperman call the current surge in AI investment “a bubble.”
95% of AI projects have shown no measurable returns, according to MIT.
Despite doubts, leaders like Sam Altman and Mark Zuckerberg remain confident that AI is the next big tech shift.
