AUSTIN, Texas, June 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AINewsWire Editorial Coverage: The worldwide push to build out artificial intelligence infrastructure has set off a wave of capital spending across the tech industry unmatched in recent memory. Major cloud companies are pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into data centers, global semiconductor sales reached $791.7 billion in 2025 and are on track to near $1 trillion this year 2026, and McKinsey’s latest State of AI report confirms that generative AI could contribute between $2.6 trillion and $4.4 trillion each year to the global economy across 63 distinct applications. Even so, as this expansion gathers pace, a less-discussed but critical theme is surfacing: The physical groundwork needed to construct, supply power to and run AI systems is turning into the main limit on how quickly this transformation can unfold. With this in mind, Nightfood Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: NGTF) (profile), operating under the name TechForce Robotics, is focused on building AI-driven automation tools for hospitality, pharmaceutical, lab and industrial settings. TechForce recently announced a partnership with Jiun Jiang (“JJ Enterprise”) aimed at advancing AI infrastructure, chip-manufacturing automation and pharmaceutical robotics, placing the company directly within one of today’s most significant growth trends in technology. The company aims to become a notable name within the AI infrastructure and advanced computing space, alongside other major participants such as Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI), Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR), Applied Materials Inc. (NASDAQ: AMAT) and KLA Corporation (NASDAQ: KLAC).
