![Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) stock is in focus after the tech giant reported mixed quarterly earnings results. Lux Capital co-founder Josh Wolfe joins Asking for a Trend with Josh Lipton to discuss a change in Alphabet's artificial intelligence (AI) policy, which may have been driven by Palantir's (PLTR) shares surging double digits following the company's earnings beat. "The thing that went unnoticed [in Alphabet's announcement] is they made a change to their policy statement" reversing a ban on using the company's AI tech for weapons and surveillance, Wolfe explains to Yahoo Finance. The venture capitalist says this change suggests Alphabet is looking at Palantir (PLTR), Microsoft (MSFT), and Amazon (AMZN), "who have been working closely with the government in the military, and they're now effectively saying, 'We have to work on weapons systems and surveillance.'" Wolfe notes that, despite some Alphabet employees protesting this change, the company is capitalizing on a "tailwind of geopolitical conflict that is a reality."

![Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) expects to spend $75 billion in capital expenditures in 2025, adding to the billions of dollars Big Tech companies are investing in artificial intelligence (AI). Blackstone's (BX) vice chairman and CFO, Michael Chae, joins Julie Hyman and Josh Lipton on Asking for a Trend to discuss his expectations for AI infrastructure and Big Tech AI spending. "The growth in data that is created and stored in the world has been about 100 [times] over 15 years," Chae explains. "So this is a real mega-trend, irrespective of current events." Regarding China's DeepSeek, which rattled investors, Chae says, "The continuing decline of the cost of compute will lead to more usage and faster adoption, and that drives overall demand for data centers." He highlights that this view seems to have been "reinforced publicly," as the likes of Meta (META) and Microsoft (MSFT) are continuing to spend big on AI infrastructure. Watch the video above to hear more from Chae, including how Blackstone is leveraging AI.
