Money is moving into artificial intelligence (AI) faster than into almost any technology before it. Gartner expects global AI spending to reach $2.6 trillion in 2026, up 47% from the year before. The total depends on what is counted. Some estimates cover only chips and data centers. Others add software, services, venture capital and company buyouts. This article uses data from Reuters, Goldman Sachs, Stanford University, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and a 2026 funding review. It explains each measure, compares it with past tech booms and looks at the risks.
