Microsoft is making big plans for the fiscal year 2025 that include allocating a massive budget for AI spending.
The company will jet out $80 billion to create a better AI infrastructure including more data centers, out of which more than 50% will take place in the US. If you think the news is surprising, that’s not at all what tech experts feel as they as it a long time coming. We’ve already seen the company hint at major plans for expansion by spending $20B every quarter in the last year.
This is just more reinforcement that they have zero plans to slow down in 2025 despite a new administration taking charge in the US this month. As per the company’s President, AI is similar to the electricity of today so the next couple of years are crucial for developing its foundation to ensure the country’s success which could last until the next century.
He also spoke about the great potential that AI has to transform into a world-changing entity. This would give rise to more doors for innovation and better productivity in various sectors of the economy. As it is, the country is standing at the forefront of the recent tech wave and if it works harder on doubling down through this front, there’s no reason why it won’t succeed.
Microsoft’s plans are going well, he continued which include more investments and working on bettering its strengths with better relationships with global partners. The more data centers, the greater the training offered for AI models, and the more cloud-based apps can expand globally.
More than 50% of the total investment will take place in America as the company is committed to the home country that brought it success from the start. This is why the company is calling on the American government to make advancements on previous investments and pave the way for greater resources that can be accessed easily.
Now Microsoft also shared how it’s well aware of the major concerns related to adopting AI such as job losses as they will alter the economy and displace people from tasks that the tech could handle better.
They argued more about how such gains could be so much better than losses taking place. All Americans would be equipped with the necessary skills required for using AI to get the highest-paid jobs and most successful careers.
