米マイクロソフトは3日、2025年6月期末までに、人工知能(AI)の開発や動作に必要な設備となるデータセンターに計800億ドル(約12兆6000億円)を投資すると発表したそうでうち半分以上は米国で投資するそうで、トランプ次期米政権の発足を前にAIの経済効果をアピールし、政府による過度な規制をけん制したそうなのですがこれは凄い額ですね。投資額を見るとマイクロソフトは結構儲かっている会社だと分かります。

Microsoft announced on the 3rd that it will invest a total of $80 billion (approximately 12.6 trillion yen) by the end of the fiscal year ending June 2025 in data centers, which will be the equipment necessary for the development and operation of artificial intelligence (AI). It seems that more than half of the investment will be made in the United States, with the aim of promoting the economic effects of AI and discouraging excessive regulation by the government before the inauguration of the next Trump administration, which is a significant amount. If you look at the investment amount, you can see that Microsoft is a fairly profitable company.
