AI infrastructure spend to exceed $600B globally, Europe allocates €10B for compute

Major tech companies are projected to spend over $600 billion on AI infrastructure this year, with potential for up to $1.5 trillion in debt, a figure that cannot be sustained by subscription revenue alone. In parallel, Europe has allocated EUR 10 billion for sovereign AI compute capabilities, though its tender for the EuroHPC gigafactory appears to prioritize processor supply from companies like AMD, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm over European-made components. This significant investment in AI infrastructure is occurring globally, with some AI companies already securing agreements to operate on classified networks. AI
