Microsoft has published an in-depth article about his vision for the development of artificial intelligence over the next four years under the new Trump administration. In the article, the company revealed that it will spend a total of $80 billion on AI-enabled data centers in 2025. Microsoft said it is expanding the data centers to be able to train and deploy AI models as well as to power its cloud-based applications. While this is the entire budget for projects around the world, more than half of it is used to build data centers in the United States.
The company explained that none of the advances the industry has made to date in AI would be possible “without new partnerships based on major infrastructure investments.” She is now calling on the new Trump administration to expand government support for the further development of AI in the US, for example by providing more funding for research to the National Science Foundation and US universities.
Microsoft acknowledged in the article that it knows AI will “disrupt the economy and displace some jobs,” but also said that “confidence has grown that AI will create new opportunities that will outweigh many of the challenges ahead.” . The key, Microsoft explained, is to train Americans to use AI as a tool for their work, similar to how they currently use smartphones and laptops. Finally, it said the third critical priority for 2025 is promoting American AI exports. There will be a race between the United States and China to spread their technologies to other countries, so the US needs a smart strategy because the race “will be won by the fastest first mover.”
