The planned expenditure is also highest in the tech industry. To compare, Google-parent Alphabet has projected capital expenditure of $195 billion to $205 billion in 2026, while Meta expects to spend between $125 billion and $145 billion.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>According to the Motley Fool report, Amazon&#8217;s aggressive investment reflects a fear of missing a major technology shift rather than spending too much. The report compares the situation to companies that failed to act during earlier technology transitions, arguing that Amazon sees AI as an opportunity it cannot afford to ignore, even if the investments take years to pay off.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/technology\/tech-news\/amazon-sells-25-billion-in-bonds-for-what-ceo-andy-jassy-calls-once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity\/articleshow\/132726859.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In his annual letter to shareholders in April, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy called AI a &#8216;once-in-a-lifetime opportunity&#8217;
