ISTANBUL (AA) - US-based technology firm Microsoft will invest $30 billion in the artificial intelligence (AI) field in the UK, its vice chairman and president said Tuesday.
Microsoft's investments will cover AI infrastructure and existing operations across the country between 2025 and 2028, Brad Smith said in a blog entry.
"This marks the largest financial commitment we’ve ever made in the UK,” Smith said.
"It includes $15 billion in capital expenditures to build out the UK’s cloud and AI infrastructure."
He added that the investment will enable Microsoft to build the country’s largest supercomputer, with more than 23,000 NVIDIA GPUs.
