近期,全球科技巨頭在人工智慧領域的投資熱潮持續升溫。據路透社最新報導,谷歌母公司Alphabet宣布,計劃在今年斥資約750億美元(按當前匯率計算,約為5519.45億元人民幣)用於擴建其數據中心,進一步加大對生成式AI技術的投入。儘管面臨全球貿易戰可能帶來的成本上升壓力,以及投資回報的不確定性,Alphabet仍堅定看好AI技術的未來發展。
At the annual meeting of Google's cloud computing division, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai elaborated on the investment plan. He said the funds will be used primarily to purchase high-performance chips and servers to strengthen the company's core businesses, such as search engines, and drive the rapid development of AI services, especially the application of its Gemini model. "There is a huge opportunity in the field of AI. He also noted that these investments will not only benefit ordinary consumers, but will also lead to significant technological advancements for the company's enterprise customers.
早在今年2月,Alphabet就已公開了這一龐大的投資計劃,其規模超出了華爾街分析師的預期近29%。這一舉措顯示了Alphabet在AI領域的堅定決心和強大實力。
It's worth noting that U.S. tech giants are investing more and more in AI infrastructure. However, as the scale of investment increases, investors also begin to become anxious about these huge investments, and they are more concerned about the return on investment. Noel Walsh, president of cloud computing and innovation at Microsoft, revealed in a post on LinkedIn that Microsoft will invest more than $42 billion (about 00 million yuan at current exchange rates) to build data center infrastructure this year to meet short- and long-term needs.
In this race for AI technology, platform giants such as Alphabet, Microsoft, and meta are investing money and resources with unprecedented strength to jointly promote the rapid development of AI technology. In the future, with the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous expansion of application scenarios, AI will become an important force to promote the development of the global technology industry.
