⚡ Latest data shows that global AI revenue will hit $25 billion in Q1 2026! For 2 consecutive quarters, it has surpassed the industry's estimated depreciation costs for chips and data centers. In other words, AI is starting to pay for itself—just a little bit, beginning to sustain itself. However, depreciation costs are still eating up more than two-thirds of the revenue, so it’s not true profitability yet. After all, just OpenAI alone can lose tens of billions a year. Luckily, the big players can still afford to burn cash and are doubling down on investments. In the short term, the bubble isn’t bursting anytime soon!
