Microsoft Explores AI Chip Development, Eyes Nuclear Power for Data Centers

Microsoft is venturing into AI chip development to reduce its reliance on Nvidia. The company is also planning to power its AI using nuclear reactors, as it believes it will require a significant amount of energy. To support this plan, Microsoft is hiring a nuclear energy expert to help power its AI and cloud data centers. The company's artificial intelligence strategy increasingly relies on nuclear energy, and it is considering building its own nuclear plant. Microsoft is looking at next-generation nuclear reactors to power its data centers and AI, and it is even considering small nuclear reactors.
