Key Facts

Global annual AI spending is expected to swell to $375 billion by the end of the year before topping $3 trillion annually by 2030, according to projections from UBS, which includes spending on AI infrastructure, as well as power and resources for electricity demand.

As more funding circulates around AI, more investors are expressing fears that tech stocks may be over-inflated by hype and may soon crash: A Bank of America survey released earlier this month found that 53% of investors believe AI stocks are in a bubble.
