Google, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft AI spending in 2026 nearly matches India’s entire national budget
The year 2026 is becoming important for the global tech industry not because of a new gadget, but because of how much money companies are spending on artificial intelligence (AI). According to Bloomberg, Google, Amazon, Meta and Microsoft together are expected to spend around $650 billion on AI this year. This amount is almost equal to what India plans to spend on running the entire country in its 2026–27 budget.
