Blackstone makes major AI investment
Blackstone, the world's largest alternative asset management firm, is making its biggest investment ever in artificial intelligence, considering it an economic transformation rivaling the major industrial revolutions. The company has focused on building a comprehensive ecosystem that includes data centers, electronic chips, energy infrastructure, and cloud computing, with investments estimated at around $200 billion by July 2026—up from $55 billion in mid-2024—to enhance AI capabilities. Additionally, it has launched a new division dedicated to investments in this sector and has begun using AI internally, where AI models assist in evaluating deals and analyzing risks. Market experts expect spending on data centers and AI-related infrastructure to reach $31.6 trillion by 2050, with demand for electricity and the sustainability of investments continuing to grow despite environmental challenges and some investor criticisms.
