Creating AI systems similar to ChatGPT requires a significant financial commitment, with estimates ranging from hundreds of millions to even billions of dollars spent on their development and training. Despite the high costs, Amazon appears to be ready to invest a staggering amount into AI this year.
Amazon’s Massive AI Investment
Recent reports suggest that Amazon is set to allocate a whopping $100 billion towards AI in 2023. This figure contrasts sharply with DeepSeek’s claim of just a few million dollars spent on its R1 model’s training, although the accuracy of that statement is uncertain. The scale of Amazon’s investment indicates its serious commitment to advancing AI technology.
The Big AI Players
AI is indeed a lucrative field, with major companies like Google and Microsoft pouring tens of billions into their projects. While many tech giants have embraced AI in recent years, Amazon’s emergence as a top spender raises eyebrows. Some might say it was only a matter of time before the retail giant made such an aggressive move in the AI arena.
During a recent earnings call, Amazon’s CEO, Andy Jassy, hinted that the company could potentially invest even more than $100 billion in AI by 2025, suggesting exciting developments for Alexa may be on the horizon. Unfortunately, that’s all the information available for now, so stay tuned for updates. In other news, India is also working on its own AI model to rival ChatGPT and DeepSeek, which is currently facing challenges in the global market as some governments view it as a threat from China.
