Amazon is intensifying its investments in Artificial Intelligence (AI), with a forecast to spend about $ 105 billion in 2025, an increase of 35% over last year. The information is from the Wall Street Journal.

The e -commerce giant revealed its capital spending in the fourth quarter, totaling US $ 26.3 billion, a number that should be representative for the year.

This amount exceeds the expectations of analysts, who were waiting for a $ 86 billion expense. The company did not specify the total amount of its capital expenses, but the expenses with purchases of properties and equipment reached US $ 27.8 billion in the last quarter.

This trend of large investments is also observed in other technology companies, such as Alphabet, Meta and Microsoft, which plan significant increases in their capital spending to 2025. These projections appear amid the noise made by Chinese startup DeepSek, which claims to have reduced The costs of training of advanced AI models, generating a drop in the market and reaching companies such as Nvidia, a supplier of AI chips. However, Amazon disagrees with the idea that cost reduction in technological components would lead to less technology spending.

The company’s CEO Andy Jassy explained that, unlike expectations, the demand for advanced technologies such as AI and cloud computing should continue to boost high investments.

These expenses can benefit companies such as Nvidia, but also generate concerns in investors about the return of such investments. After the announcement, Amazon shares fell more than 4%.

The company, however, sees these expenses as a positive indication for its rapidly expanding AWS cloud computing division and should generate more than $ 150 billion by 2026.
