Microsoft Announces Massive Investment in Generative AI

Microsoft plans to invest $80 billion over the next year to build new data centers aimed at supporting and expanding generative AI applications and models, according to an announcement by the company’s president, Brad Smith.

This ambitious project includes developing the infrastructure necessary to support cloud computing, which underpins many modern applications like ChatGPT.

While these data centers will be deployed across multiple regions worldwide, more than half of the investment will be allocated to the United States, reflecting Microsoft’s deep commitment to the American economy.

These centers will advance AI technologies by providing the computing power needed to run machine learning tools that drive sophisticated applications, which have become an integral part of our daily lives.
