Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella states AI could boost the UK economy by 10% within five years, not ten, as part of a new $30 billion investment—the company’s largest outside the US. This forms part of a broader £31 billion UK-US tech deal involving Google and Nvidia, focusing on AI infrastructure like data centres and a supercomputer in Essex. Nadella acknowledges AI’s high energy use and potential economic impact but warns against overhyping the technology. The investment aims to create jobs and drive growth, though concerns remain about foreign reliance and energy costs.
