Tech giant Microsoft aims to invest $50 billion by 2030 to build infrastructure for artificial intelligence, Microsoft President Brad Smith said Thursday. India is likely to be among the key destinations for the company's investment, Smith added.
The next big step in AI is extending it to the global south more extensively, Smith said. Under its investment plan, Microsoft aims to set up more data centres and compute infrastructure in the global south, with India, "unsurprisingly", being a key destination, according to Smith.
