Amazon Inc (AMZN) is looking to continue its AI investments with an additional $100B investment incoming. According to Business Insider, the company’s efforts to create an internally developed AI model with sophisticated reasoning capabilities are approaching fruition. While the reasoning model is nearly complete, the development of proprietary AI agents remains in earlier stages.

While the investment is a step in the right direction for Amazon’s AI hopes, it left some investors concerned about how the investment could eat into AMZN profits. It is a steep expense for a still-developing industry. The company spent $48.1 billion and $77.7 billion on capital expenditures in 2023 and 2024, respectively. Spending $100 billion or more is a significant step up from there. There are cases of businesses spending so much on AI that it hurt profit margins, and that may be what investors are worried about.
