Microsoft will build a new AI data center in Wisconsin, on the same land where Foxconn previously invested
Microsoft’s multi-billion dollar bet on artificial intelligence keeps growing — this time with a data center in Wisconsin.
The Biden administration announced Microsoft’s $3.3 billion investment in a new AI data center in Racine, Wisconsin on Wednesday. The data center will be built on the same land Taiwanese electronics manufacturer, Foxconn, previously invested $10 billion in.
Microsoft’s investment will create 2,300 union construction jobs and 2,000 permanent jobs over time, according to the Biden administration. The tech giant will also provide opportunities in the digital economy for thousands of Wisconsin residents, the Biden administration said.
