Amazon has announced a big investment plan that will further agglomerate the competition in the field of artificial intelligence. The company’s CEO Andy Jassy said that 2025 capital expenditures will exceed $ 100 billion, and most of this investment will be used to strengthen the artificial intelligence infrastructure within the Amazon Web Services (AWS). This statement was made at the meeting where Amazon evaluated the fourth quarter financial results.
In the last quarter of 2024, Jassy said that the company made a capital expenditure of 26.3 billion dollars and that this level would continue for 2025. This corresponds to an annual expenditure of about 105.2 billion dollars. Amazon made a total of 78 billion dollars of capital expenditures in 2024, so this increase in 2025 is remarkable.
Amazon is not alone in increasing artificial intelligence investments
Amazon’s big budget investment plan shows that technology giants have increased their spending on artificial intelligence without slowing down. The fact that the artificial intelligence models become more efficient and the decrease in costs is even more angry in the sector.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that the company would allocate hundreds of billions of dollars in long -term artificial intelligence investments. Meta plans to spend at least 60 billion dollars for 2025, and it is known that most of these expenditures will be aimed at artificial intelligence infrastructure.
Google’s roof company Alphabet increased capital expenditures for 2025 to 42 percent and increased to $ 75 billion. Sundar Pichai, CEO of the company, stressed that the decline in artificial intelligence costs will make new uses possible and that this requires Google to invest more.
Microsoft plans to spend $ 80 billion for artificial intelligence data centers in 2025. Satya Nadella, CEO of the company, said that artificial intelligence technologies are developed rapidly and big investments in this field are inevitable.
Amazon’s CEO Andy Jassy said that some analysts did not agree with the concerns that the decrease in artificial intelligence costs may adversely affect company revenues. On the contrary, the more cost -effective of artificial intelligence services will increase the demand for these technologies, he said. Jassy stressed that the cost decreases often reduce the total expenditure on technology, on the contrary, by comparing this to the early periods of internet and cloud computing.
This view is also shared by other major technology companies. The increasing popularity of artificial intelligence -based services and the expansion of usage areas in the business world increase the need for investment.
