SINGAPORE, July 9 (Reuters) – Google’s AI investments are primarily in technical infrastructure, Google APAC head of AI and emerging tech policy Eunice Huang said on Wednesday.
“As our CEO has said, in these early days of a very transformative technology, the risks of under investing are dramatically higher than the risks of over investing,” Huang said, during a panel discussion at the Reuters NEXT Asia summit in Singapore.
In April, Alphabet (GOOGL.O), opens new tab, Google’s parent company, said it was still committed to spending some $75 billion this year to build out data centre capacity despite turmoil over U.S. tariffs and sought to reassure investors that its AI plans were yielding good returns.
