Microsoft is on track to invest $5.5 billion in cloud and artificial ⁠intelligence infrastructure in Singapore ⁠through 2029, the ⁠Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.

 

Microsoft did not immediately respond to a ⁠Reuters request for ⁠comment.

 

The Thai government ⁠said in a statement on Tuesday that Microsoft plans to invest $1 billion in Thailand over the next two years in cloud services and AI infrastructure.

 

The investment includes developing digital ⁠skills of the Thai workforce, the statement said.

 

The announcement follows a number of data center investments to support AI, as Southeast ⁠Asia's ⁠second-largest economy looks to speed up projects involving data centers, electronics, and power generation.
