GaryMarcus · x · 2026-07-27
Gary Marcus links to a discussion of “creative financing” for the AI buildout, with the attached event card from The Information showing a session titled AI Financing Gets Creative. The event description says dealmakers are scouting public and private markets for funding, because AI capital needs are quickly outpacing traditional data-center financing.
In other words, the story is about how the AI infrastructure boom is forcing financiers to use more unusual capital structures and funding sources to keep data-center expansion going.
