REDMOND, Washington: Microsoft said it remains on track to invest US$50 billion by the end of the decade to expand artificial intelligence infrastructure and capabilities across countries in the "Global South."
The pledge was announced at the AI summit in New Delhi, where senior executives from major AI companies are meeting with world leaders this week.
The term "Global South" generally refers to developing, emerging, or lower-income nations, most of which are located in the southern hemisphere.
Microsoft has already made significant commitments in the region. Last year, the company announced $17.5 billion in AI investments in India, underscoring its focus on one of the world's fastest-growing digital markets.
