In a strategic move to boost its AI functions, Microsoft has announced plans to construct a new AI data centre in Racine, Wisconsin, with an investment of$ 3.3 billion. The initiative has political tones, as Joe Biden’s White House attempts to attack Trump’s financial plans.
Computer Mag reports that , Microsoft is making a new investment in AI by building a new data center in Racine, Wisconsin, with a price tag of$ 3.3 billion. This shift comes after a past program by Apple’s Chinese third- party iPhone manufacturer, Foxconn, to build a display screen factory on the same land fell through. Microsoft says there will be around 2,300 coalition construction work and 2, 000 continuous employment created at the new data centre.
The news of the new data facility comes as part of Microsoft’s broader devotion to AI growth. In Wisconsin, President Joe Biden will join Microsoft President Brad Smith to make an official announcement. Microsoft will benefit from the new service as it works to boost its increasingly necessary demand for more processing power to support its energy-intensive AI projects.
In recent years, AI’s effect on energy grids and the environment has become a growing problem. Microsoft is still making a significant force toward artificial intelligence, stressing the value of developing this technology in the future. This year, Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott highlighted the agency’s responsibility to AI growth, stating that they have been building “big mainframes to teach AI versions” for the past five years.
In response to the growing demand for skilled workers in the field, Wisconsin’s new AI data center will also house a” Datacenter Academy” to train 1, 000 people there for STEM jobs. The state’s” Co-Innovation Lab,” which Microsoft did construct, will add even more to the advancement of AI systems.
Before programs fell apart, the original Foxconn page was supposed to house a 20 million square foot factory for broadcast and digital device screens. The site remained largely unusable despite spending more than$ 900 million on the project in four years and the state of Wisconsin making over$$ 200 million.
