Big Tech uses guarantees to keep $300B AI exposure off balance sheets

Major technology companies are reportedly using guarantee arrangements to keep roughly $300 billion in AI-related financial exposure off their balance sheets, according to a Financial Times report. The structure allows firms to back AI infrastructure deals and commitments without booking the full liabilities, raising questions about transparency around how much risk the sector is actually carrying as AI spending accelerates.

Why now: Concerns that opaque accounting around massive AI investments could be masking financial risk in the technology sector.
