Smith compared this technology to electricity, saying it could power the economy for many years to come. He encouraged the U.S. to use its strengths and collaborate with other countries to stay ahead in this race.

Smith also asked President-elect Donald Trump and Congress to provide more support, like additional funding for university research and groups that work on new ideas. This would help the U.S. stay a step ahead in this field.

Both the U.S. and China are competing to lead the world in this technology. Smith pointed out that both countries are spreading their systems to other nations, and the one that moves fastest will likely win the global race.

China has already started helping other countries with cheaper access to computer chips and by building centers to support this technology. Smith explained that once countries choose a system, they’re likely to stick with it. He said the U.S. needs to quickly show that its technology is better and more reliable to win support from other countries.

Microsoft is investing its $80 billion into new centers and training systems to improve its products and services worldwide. This investment will continue through the end of Microsoft’s fiscal year in June 2025.

Other companies like Amazon, Google, and OpenAI are also spending heavily on this new technology. But it’s still unclear when they’ll see a return on their investment.

In the end, Microsoft’s big investment is part of the U.S. effort to stay ahead in a race with China. This technology is expected to change the way many industries work, and both countries are eager to lead in this global competition.
