Microsoft has published a long article outlining his vision for artificial intelligence development over the next four years under the new Trump administration. In the article, the company said it would spend a total of $80 billion on AI-enabled data centers in 2025. Microsoft said it is building data centers to be able to train and deploy artificial intelligence models and power its cloud. -applications. While that's the company's entire budget for projects around the world, more than half of it will go toward building data centers in the United States.
The company explained that none of the AI progress the industry has made to date will be possible “without new partnerships based on large-scale infrastructure investments.” He is now calling on the new Trump administration to expand government support for artificial intelligence development in the US, such as giving the National Science Foundation and US universities more funding for research.
In the article, Microsoft acknowledged that it knows AI will “disrupt the economy and replace some jobs,” but also said that it “has increased confidence that AI will create new opportunities that will outweigh the many challenges ahead.” The key, Microsoft explained, is educating Americans so they can use AI as a tool in their work, much like they now use smartphones and laptops. Finally, it says the third top priority for 2025 is promoting American artificial intelligence exports. There will be a race between the United States and China to spread their technology to other countries, so the US needs a smart strategy as the race will be “winned by the fastest first mover.”
