SINGAPORE (Reuters) -Google's AI investments are primarily in technical infrastructure, Google APAC head of AI and emerging tech policy Eunice Huang said on Wednesday.

"As our CEO has said, in these early days of a very transformative technology, the risks of under investing are dramatically higher than the risks of over investing," Huang said, during a panel discussion attheReuters NEXT Asia summit in Singapore.

In April, Alphabet, Google's parent company, said it was still committed to spending some $75 billion this year to build out data centre capacity despite turmoil over U.S. tariffs and sought to reassure investors that its AI plans were yielding good returns.
