TLDR
Techstrongai reports that global AI spending is projected to reach $2.7 trillion in 2026, a 49.5% jump. It says more than half would go to infrastructure, with tech providers buying ahead of workloads that have not arrived. For CIOs, it describes much of the remaining spending as price increases on software they already own, and argues that spending pays off only when enterprises reorganize around verification, integration and governance.
