Microsoft committing $80 Billion on AI-Enabled data centers in 2025

If ever there was doubt about the future of technology and innovation, just “follow the money” as they say. With Microsoft announcing that it will be spending $80 Billion around the world in 2025 to build AI-Enabled data centers, it's clear that continued development of physical infrastructure is a priority for companies investing in this space. (We're looking at you, too, Amazon, Meta, and Alphabet.)
