Google's parent company, Alphabet, just increased its fundraising goal to a massive $84.75 billion, up from $80 billion announced just days ago. The sole purpose of this massive cash grab is to fund its artificial intelligence infrastructure.

## Idea

When the biggest tech companies in the world scramble to raise tens of billions of dollars for AI, the safest bet isn't to guess which software will win. The real winners are the companies selling the picks and shovels—specifically, the chips and data center cooling systems required to run these massive new AI projects. As Alphabet and others pour this new cash into building data centers, Nvidia and hardware suppliers stand to see massive revenue bumps.
