Big Tech issues $300bn in guarantees to back AI debt

Major technology companies are increasingly using guarantees to support debt raised for AI data centres and chips, issuing up to $300 billion in commitments within a year. Analysts note that much of this exposure is not recorded on their balance sheets, raising questions about transparency and hidden financial risk as AI infrastructure spending accelerates.
Why now: The scale and off-balance-sheet nature of these AI financing commitments is raising concerns about hidden debt risk in the tech sector.
