The world's biggest technology companies are spending hundreds of billions of dollars on artificial intelligence. Investors have happily backed the AI boom so far, but at some point they'll want to see a return.

Michael Thompson speaks with Josh Gilbert, Lead Market Analyst for APAC at eToro, about what last week's results from Alphabet and Tesla revealed, what to expect from Microsoft, Meta, Amazon and Apple this week, and whether Big Tech's enormous AI investment is finally starting to pay off. They also discuss Tesla's transformation beyond electric vehicles and why investor patience is beginning to wear thin.
