Microsoft will invest $1.7 billion in artificial intelligence and data centers in Indonesia to help develop the country’s artificial intelligence infrastructure.
Before announcing the investment, the company’s CEO Satya Nadella met with President Joko Widodo at the presidential palace in Jakarta, AFP reported, quoted by BGNES.
“The thing I’m really excited to announce today is the announcement of a $1.7 billion investment that will be used to roll out the latest and greatest infrastructure for AI Indonesia,” said Nadella.
“We will lead this wave in terms of the next generation of AI infrastructure that is needed. Our mission is ultimately to enable every person and every organization in Indonesia to benefit from this next big wave of AI,” the Microsoft boss said.
The company will also provide AI training for 840,000 Indonesians. The head of Microsoft called this “the largest investment value” in the 29-year history of its business in the country.
Nadella earlier said the tech giant would “invest significantly” in AI infrastructure and data centers over the next four years, Indonesia’s Communications and Informatics Minister Budi Setiadi said.
