Big Tech's $300B AI exposure hidden off balance sheets
Original: Big Tech uses guarantees to keep $300B AI exposure off balance sheets
A Financial Times report says major technology companies are using financial guarantees to keep roughly $300 billion of AI-related commitments off their balance sheets. The arrangements, tied to data centre and computing infrastructure deals, let firms back massive AI spending without showing the full liabilities on their accounts. The report has drawn attention because it suggests investors may be underestimating how much of Big Tech's AI buildout is being financed off the books.
Why now: Scrutiny of AI spending and accounting practices is high as investors question the true cost and risk of the AI buildout.
