On Wednesday, Microsoft reported third-quarter earnings, including approximately $35 billion in AI infrastructure capital expenditure for the quarter alone. The company's full-year capex guidance sits at roughly $120 billion, the majority of it directed toward powering its AI assistant Copilot, which Microsoft has spent two years promoting and which is currently used by approximately 3 percent of the 450 million people who pay for Microsoft 365.
The remaining 97 percent reportedly continue to use Microsoft 365 without it.
