AustriaAmazon has announced plans to invest an additional $20 billion this year in expanding its AI infrastructure due to rising costs of memory chips. The company’s CEO, Andy Jassy, increased the capital expenditure forecast for the year from $200 billion to $220 billion, stating that even this amount would not be sufficient to meet customer demand for computing power. He noted that this shortage is expected to persist through 2027. Amazon benefits significantly from the current AI boom through its cloud division, AWS, which is the world's largest provider of cloud computing services. Jassy mentioned that by 2028, there could already be a 'remarkable' level of demand. Following these announcements, Amazon's stock rose by up to ten percent in after-hours trading, while Meta's shares fell eight percent after founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg shared his AI vision.
