ISTANBUL<\/strong><\/p>\n

US-based tech giants like Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet are projected to spend around $670 billion on capital investments this year, primarily funding their artificial intelligence (AI) and data center efforts.<\/p>\n

Analysts say this massive influx of capital resembles the rapid railroad expansion of the Gilded Age, covering a period from the late 1870s to the late 1990s, when the world\u2019s first billionaires emerged with industrialization.<\/p>\n

The rise of railroads and the further advancement of port and mining activities held a key place in the US economy at the time, while agriculture began to lose its former glory.<\/p>\n

Such large investments may have a long payback period, and the cash flow and profitability may come under pressure in the short term, analysts warn.<\/p>\n

Alphabet, for instance, used very long-term (100-year) bonds to finance its rising AI spending, similarly to IBM\u2019s borrowing in 1996.<\/p>\n

This recent and massive shift in technology follows historical milestones, such as the widespread home adoption of personal computers in 1974 and the machine learning model Deep Blue\u2019s victory against chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997. The digital revolution thus came to the fore after the leap in the Gilded Age.<\/p>\n

Nowadays, the world is witnessing another leap. The emergence and the consequent widespread adoption of large language models (LLMs) these days, popularized by the rise of AI chatbots like ChatGPT, pushed the use of AI beyond niche applications into the mainstream.<\/p>\n

Companies began to shape their policies and plans around AI, and inevitably, AI spending grew on a massive scale, given that the world\u2019s wealthiest are American tech billionaires.<\/p>\n

The US economy is expected to see an economic breakthrough like that of the 1870s with AI, but how these AI spending and investments will affect companies is unclear.<\/p>\n

Recent AI spending may be most significant capital investment cycle since railroads<\/strong><\/p>\n
