AI revenue won't cover data centre costs for years

Original: # AI is not going to generate enough revenue to cover the cost of building the data centres for at least the next three

A new analysis argues artificial intelligence will not generate enough revenue to cover the cost of building the data centres it depends on for at least the next three years. Infrastructure spending by major technology firms is forecast to outstrip expected AI income, fuelling debate about whether the industry's massive investment will ever pay off.

Why now: Scepticism about whether huge AI infrastructure investments can ever be recouped is a growing topic as spending forecasts climb.
