Google was previously spending less than $30 billion per year on artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure. That figure has now risen to more than $90 billion, said Google chief executive Sundar Pichai in an interview with BBC Newsnight a week ago.
He added that if similar investments across the industry are combined, the total would surpass one trillion dollars.
Pichai also outlined aggressive scaling plans, saying the company will build in “just a couple of years” what previously took 10 to 20 years to develop.
