"Microsoft" plans to spend $ 80 billion on data centers for artificial intelligence

Microsoft plans to spend $ 80 billion in the current financial year to build databases, with a view to the intense capital requirements for artificial intelligence. More than half of these expected expenses until June 2025 will be in the United States, according to Microsoft President Brad Smith, in a post on Friday. He added that the recent progress of artificial intelligence is due to ‘large -scale investments in infrastructure that forms the basis of innovation and the use of artificial intelligence.’ The provider of cloud infrastructure such as “Microsoft” and “Amazon” is expanding the computer capacity by creating new data centers. In the previous financial year ending in June 2024, the capital expenditure of Microsoft amounted to more than $ 50 billion, and the vast majority of it was linked to the construction of the server farm fueled by the demand for artificial intelligence services. The ‘strict’ artificial intelligence regulations, such as Smith, warned the administration of Donald Trump from ‘strict regulations’ related to artificial intelligence. Smith wrote: “The most important priority in the general policy of the United States should be to ensure that the US private sector has the ability to continue in a supportive environment,” Smith wrote. The country needs a “practical policy of exporting a balance between the strong safety protection of the components of artificial intelligence in reliable data centers with the ability of US businesses to quickly expand and provide a reliable source of supply to many countries that are considered an ally and friends of America,” Smith wrote.
