12月9日，美国科技巨头微软（Microsoft）首席执行官萨蒂亚·纳德拉在与印度总理莫迪会晤后宣布，未来四年（2026年至2029年）将在印度投资 175亿美元，用于推进印度的云计算和人工智能基础设施建设、技能培训以及持续运营。这将是微软有史以来在亚洲的最大规模的投资。 微软表示，印度正处于人工智能发展历程的关键时刻，其发展目标是实现规模化影响，并力争引领行业。随着科技成为包容性增长和经济转型的 催化剂，印度正崛起为人工智能领域的先锋国家。在雄心勃勃的愿景和加速创新的背景下，微软才宣布了这一投资计划。并且，这项投资建立在 今年早些时候宣布的30亿美元投资之上，微软正按计划于2026年底前完成这笔投资。 印度电子信息技术部部长阿什维尼·瓦伊什瑙 表示："随着人工智能重塑数字经济，印度始终致力于以信任和主权为基础的创新。微软的这项里程 碑式投资标志着印度正在崛起为全球可靠的技术合作伙伴。此次合作将树立新的标杆，并推动印度从数字公共基础设施向人工智能公共基础设施 实现飞跃。" 印度劳动与就业及青年事务与体育部长曼苏克·曼达维亚博士表示： "印度在社会保障方面取得了历史性的里程碑，覆盖率从2015年的19%显著提 ...

为了掌控全球数据生态系统，微软于12月10日承诺向加拿大和印度投资超过300亿美元，在两大洲同步启动大规模基础设施建设。 在加拿大渥太华，微软宣布将在2027年前投入190亿加元（约134亿美元）用于扩建加拿大本地云。其中一项关键承诺是：若遇外国司法 机构试图调取存储于加拿大的数据，微软将采取法律诉讼等手段进行对抗。 与此同时，微软大幅升级了其印度战略，承诺投资额增至175亿美元。与2025年1月设定的目标相比，这一数额激增近六倍。按计划，微 软的Azure AI服务将深度集成至印度政府福利门户网站，覆盖约3.1亿劳工。 2025年6月份，微软公布了其在欧洲云主权计划的细节，确认客户存储的数据将保留在欧洲境内，并遵守欧洲法规。这项名为"微软主权 云"的新计划，将为欧洲各地的企业提供三种不同的选择：主权公有云、主权私有云以及国家合作伙伴云。 从战略层面看，这些行动意味着微软的重心正从集中在美国的"超级工厂"转向分布式、国家级的基础设施布局。这种"主权AI"模式直接 回应了各国政府日益强烈的诉求：数据必须存储在境内，核心AI系统须由本地掌控。 通过将计算能力本地化，微软实质上是在为应对日益严格的数据本地化法律修筑 ...
