Google has positioned itself as an AI-first company and released a plethora of offerings over the last few months, although has had to roll back some because of inaccuracies.
But executives remained fairly cryptic about its AI spending in the company’s second-quarter earnings call last week.
Executives haven’t provided any hard numbers on the company’s AI investments but continued to emphasize that its AI ambitions will produce long-term returns. For now, what we do know is Google spent $3 billion to build and expand its data centers, and $60 million to train AI on Reddit posts.
