Investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure and model architectures is on track to surge more than fivefold to about $769 billion in 2026, underscoring the scale of capital flowing into AI even as leading developers and industry executives raise concerns over the pace and safety of the technology’s development, according to McKinsey’s Technology Trends Outlook 2026.
Summary
The estimate is based on nearly $384 billion invested in the first half of 2026 and assumes the current pace continues through the year.
This is a brief wire summary — the full story (linked below) has the complete details.
KazaSec's take
AI-related security incidents are a genuinely new category — prompt injection, model manipulation, and data leakage through an LLM integration don't map cleanly onto traditional application security testing, and are worth assessing deliberately rather than assuming existing controls already cover them.
