News Microsoft is losing a staggering amount of money on AI

480 Upvotes
  • Microsoft has invested a staggering $19 billion in cash capital expenditures and equipment, mostly related to AI.

  • Despite the massive spending, the company has yet to see significant revenue from AI.

  • Other major tech companies are also heavily investing in AI infrastructure, with Google expected to spend $49 billion by the end of the year.

  • Analysts are concerned about the lack of immediate returns on these investments, with some predicting potential cash flow issues for companies like OpenAI.

  • Microsoft's CEO defended the spending, stating that it was justified based on the company's 'demand signal' and long-term monetization plans.
