Barclays' preeminent M&A expert, Andrew Woeber, the global head of M&A, anticipates that the competitive landscape in artificial intelligence will propel mergers and acquisitions (M&A) deals surpassing $100 billion by this time next year. Woeber asserts that the emergence of such substantial deals should not come as a shock, given the significant investments being made by major platforms. Tech titans like Musk's xAI and Meta have vowed to pour considerable resources into developing related infrastructure, with Morgan Stanley forecasting that associated expenditures will top $3 trillion over the next three years. Should these transactions materialize, they would represent the largest M&A deals since AT&T's acquisition of Time Warner in 2018.
