Microsoft is on track to invest around $80 billion this fiscal year to build out AI-enabled data centers, company president Brad Smith said Friday.
Those data centers, like the one the company is building in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, will be used to train AI models and deploy AI and cloud-based applications around the world - although more than half of the investment will be in the US, Smith said in a blog post highlighting the opportunities technology offers for building the country's economy.
