Big Tech AI Capex to Hit $1.1T, Surpassing US Defense Spending by 2027
2026-07-06 08:40

Woofun AI data shows that capital expenditure on artificial intelligence by Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Oracle is projected to reach $1.1 trillion by 2027. This volume represents approximately 3.2% of US Gross Domestic Product, marking the first instance where annual AI infrastructure investment exceeds national defense spending, which is estimated at 2.7% of GDP.

For the current year, 2026, these five entities are expected to spend over $800 billion on AI, raising their share of GDP from 1.5% in 2025 to roughly 2.5%. This trajectory indicates a rapid acceleration in tech sector investment relative to federal military budgets.
