OpenAI reportedly seeks financing for infrastructure expansion

The staggering investments in artificial intelligence keep coming: In September 2025, AI chip giant Nvidia announced it would invest $100 billion to help OpenAI, the frontrunner in generative AI, build data centers. AI-related spending is soaring worldwide, expected to reach approximately $1.5 trillion by 2025, according to US research firm Gartner, and over $2 trillion in 2026 -- nearly 2 percent of global GDP. Feeding AI's computing appetite will cost up to $500 billion annually in global data center investments through 2030, requiring $2 trillion in annual revenues to make the expenses viable, according to consulting firm Bain & Company. Even under optimistic assumptions, Bain estimates the AI industry faces an $800 billion deficit. (Photo by Yuichi YAMAZAKI / AFP) (Photo by YUICHI YAMAZAKI/AFP via Getty Images)

Once a haven for snowbirds, Arizona sees fewer Canadians settling in for the season
PEORIA, ARIZONA - JUNE 08: In an aerial view, the Central Arizona Project canal runs past homes in the Phoenix suburbs on June 8, 2023 in Peoria, Arizona. The project carries diverted Colorado River water through a 336-mile long system to help serve 80 percent of the population of Arizona. Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs announced last week that that there is a shortage of groundwater for new housing construction which has been previously approved in the Phoenix metropolitan area. Arizona will no longer be able to give developers new permits for home construction in some outlying desert suburbs of Maricopa County which rely on groundwater wells. The cities of Phoenix and Peoria rely mostly on river water and reclaimed water and will not be directly affected by the decision. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)
