(The Guardian) Biden to announce $3.3bn AI center in Wisconsin
Joe Biden will visit the battleground state of Wisconsin today, where he is expected to unveil a $3.3bn Microsoft AI center.
Biden’s trip to Racine will not only mark his fourth visit to Wisconsin this year but will also contrast the president from Donald Trump, who six years ago promised a Foxconn factory at the same location which never happened.
As Biden gears up for his upcoming trip, Trump’s lawyers appears to have scored a win after federal judge Aileen Cannon indefinitely suspended the former president’s Mar-a-Lago documents trial in Florida on Tuesday. Cannon’s ruling that the case is not yet ready to taken before a jury serves in the favor of Trump, who has been trying to delay his criminal cases in hopes of winning the presidential election and appointing a loyalist attorney general who could help drop the charges.
In a statement released ahead of Joe Biden’s visit to Wisconsin later today, the White House took a jab at Donald Trump’s former administration and said: Six years ago, the prior administration touted a $10 billion investment by Foxconn that never materialized – now Microsoft will build a new AI datacenter on the same land, powering industries of the future in Wisconsin. Today, president Biden will travel to Racine, Wisconsin – the same location as the failed Foxconn investment that the prior administration visited six years ago – to showcase a community at the heart of his commitment to invest in places that have been historically overlooked or failed by the last administration’s policies.”
Here are some more details on Joe Biden’s upcoming announcement in Racine, Wisconsin, later today:
The AI datacenter is set to construct 2,300 union construction jobs and 2,000 permanent jobs.
Microsoft also plans to provide “skilled opportunities for thousands more Wisconsinites in the digital economy”, the White House said.
Specifically, the tech giant will partner with Gateway Technical College to develop a datacenter academy that trains 1,000 Wisconsinites for datacenter and Stem roles by 2030, and will employ up to 2,000 people in permanent roles at its Racine facility, the White House added.
