The biggest tech companies in the world are doubling down on artificial intelligence. Alphabet just increased its fundraising to a massive $85 billion to pay for AI projects, joining Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon in a historic spending spree.

## Idea

Big tech is treating artificial intelligence like an absolute necessity, and they are backing it up with unprecedented amounts of cash. When industry leaders like Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon pour hundreds of billions into new technology, the money eventually flows to their own bottom lines. As these companies build out AI infrastructure, their massive ad revenue and cloud computing profits are likely to surge even higher. Buying a basket of these dominant players lets you ride the wave of their massive investments.
