Technology companies are actively investing in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) with the aim of improving their productivity and satisfying the needs of investors. Along with recent financial reports, Google, Amazon, and Meta plan to spend tens of billions of dollars on infrastructure, essential for supporting their AI systems.

Google announced plans to invest $85 billion in building AI infrastructure by 2025, which is $10 billion more than previously planned. Google’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, noted that the company is facing challenges in ensuring the necessary infrastructure for data processing.

Amazon also reported plans to spend $100 billion in 2025, primarily to expand the capabilities of its cloud service. Amazon’s CEO, Andy Jassy, stated that reductions in spending on certain technologies do not lead to an overall decrease in expenditure.

Meta plans to invest "tens of billions" in developing networks of large data centers. Previously, the company planned to spend $65 billion in 2025, but now expects to invest between $64–72 billion.

In addition, artificial intelligence is causing concern among creative professionals. Many artists are alarmed that their work is being used without permission for training algorithms. In response to this, collective actions are taking place against large tech companies, which assert that they have the right to use copyrighted materials according to the principle of "fair use."

In Great Britain, new internet safety rules are also being established, requiring social media platforms to ensure the protection of children. These changes are an important test for the Online Safety Act.
