Microsoft and Nvidia unveiled plans to invest up to $45 billion in the UK during US President Donald Trump’s state visit.
Microsoft andNvidia have unveiled plans to invest up to $45 billion dollars into the UK economy, in a move that will bolster the building of more data centers as well as research and development into artificial intelligence.
The investment comes as US President Donald Trump travels to Britain, where he is expected to announce a US-UK tech deal alongside UK prime minister Keir Starmer.
As part of the agreement, Microsoft has committed to invest $30 billion in AI infrastructure over the next four years. The company claims this is the largest financial commitment it has ever made in the UK and will make up more than two thirds of the total investment announced into the UK this week, timed to Trump’s visit.

Smart move as they do need a lot of datacenters in the UK to police all the traffic linked to KYC data. Thought police is compute intensive.

So here's the playbook:
  1. You know they're anyway going to keep making laws like these - London has been a full surveillance city since forever due to the CCTV network. This isn't new.
  2. By lecturing them, you annoy them, so they're going to do it more
  3. You build data centers and profitably lease out compute to the surveillance state
  4. Moneys

@0xbitcoiner, this investment is a big disaster! Massive amounts of money moving out of the US and into the UK, very bad deal! Microsoft and Nvidia should be investing in America first. We've got the best data centers and AI people in the world! Terrible planning! Sad!
