微軟將投資175億美元於印度人工智能基建,與谷歌及亞馬遜等巨頭爭奪亞洲市場

美國科技巨頭微軟於星期二宣布,計劃在未來四年內,投資高達175億美元於印度的雲端及人工智能(AI)基礎設施,成為其在亞洲最大規模的投資。此舉旨在擴展超大規模基礎設施,將AI深度整合入印度國家平台,以及提升當地勞動力的技能準備度。這項投資是在今年一月微軟已承諾的30億美元基礎上進一步加碼。

這項宣布恰逢微軟行政總裁薩提亞·納德拉(Satya Nadella)與印度總理納倫德拉·莫迪(Narendra Modi)會面,雙方討論印度在AI領域的雄心。莫迪當天亦會見了包括英特爾行政總裁譚立樹(Lip-Bu Tan)在內的其他科技巨頭領袖。

納德拉在社交媒體上感謝莫迪,並表示微軟的投資將有助於構建印度AI優先未來所需的基礎設施、技能及自主能力。印度正積極追趕AI發展,莫迪強調打造全面的科技生態系統及AI主權。近期,谷歌及亞馬遜網絡服務(AWS)亦分別承諾將在印度投資150億及80億美元建設數據中心。

莫迪在社交平台X(原Twitter)上表示:「印度的年輕人將利用這個機會創新,並借助AI的力量為地球帶來更美好的未來。」微軟計劃利用這筆資金擴大現有的雲端及AI基建,服務印度多個地區的客戶,現時已在多區提供「主權公有雲」及「主權私有雲」服務。

此外,微軟將把一月承諾培訓2000萬印度人掌握AI技能的目標加倍,並期望提升其在印度超過22,000名員工的技能水平。公司亦宣布,將把Azure AI功能整合到印度勞工及就業部和國家職業服務的兩個重要數碼公共平台。

印度電子與信息科技部部長阿什溫尼·瓦伊什納夫(Ashwini Vaishnaw)表示,這項投資彰顯印度作為全球可信賴科技夥伴的崛起,並加速由數碼基礎設施向AI公共基建的轉型。

儘管印度在尖端技術如芯片和AI領域仍遠落後於全球領先者,但其龐大的消費市場和政府資助吸引了主要科技企業。印度「半導體使命」計劃已批准10個芯片項目,總投資超過180億美元。英特爾於近日與孟買的塔塔電子簽署合作協議,旨在共同開發本地芯片產品,並聚焦於AI應用。

評論與啟示:

微軟這次大手筆的投資,不單是企業策略上的擴張,更是對印度作為新興科技大國定位的肯定。印度在AI和半導體領域的政策支持與市場潛力,正吸引全球巨頭紛紛下注。與此同時,印度政府在推動AI主權和技術自主上的強烈意願,顯示出該國希望在全球科技版圖上擁有更多話語權。

對香港及其他華語市場來說,這是一個值得關注的趨勢。亞洲市場的科技生態日益多元且競爭激烈,印度的崛起將帶動整個區域的技術創新和產業鏈重組。企業應審視自身在亞洲的布局策略,尤其是在AI基建和人才培訓方面,如何與印度及其他新興市場協同發展。

此外,微軟將AI技術直接整合到印度公共服務平台,反映出AI在政府治理和社會服務的實際應用潛力。這種模式值得香港及其他地區借鑑,推動數碼政府與智慧城市建設,提升公共服務效率和質素。

總括而言,這場科技巨頭在印度的競賽,不僅是資本和技術的較量,更是一場關於國家戰略、產業生態和人才培養的長遠博弈。香港作為國際金融和科技樞紐,應密切關注印度及亞洲市場的變化,尋找合作與創新的機遇。

A captivating portrait of a young Asian woman, inspired by Imada Mio and embodying an exquisitely delicate, doll-like (精緻洋娃娃臉) aesthetic. She has large, round, expressive eyes that radiate innocence and curiosity, subtly accented with a moist shimmer. Her petite V-line face is framed by soft, rosy cheeks, and her lips are naturally pink and slightly parted, exuding an energetic, slightly flirty, yet pure aura. Her expression is a candid blend of sweetness and playful allure.

Her long, dark brown hair is artfully tousled with a messy morning (剛睡醒的凌亂感) effect—loose strands fall gently around her face, conveying natural volume and effortless beauty. The hair has a silky texture, catching the light in places, suggesting a recent awakening.

She is dressed in an oversized, translucent white button-down shirt (男友風白襯衫) with the top buttons casually undone, delicately revealing her collarbones and a slender neckline. The shirt drapes loosely, giving a tasteful "bottomless" look (下衣失蹤風格), her bare legs just barely visible beneath the shirt's hem, enhancing the innocent-meets-sensual ambiance.

The composition is styled in the manner of a Japanese Gravure Photobook (寫真集風格), exuding a pure & sexy vibe with an airy, dreamy atmosphere. Employ bright, high-key lighting for a clean, luminous effect that highlights her velvety soft skin texture. Use Fujifilm PRO 400H film tones for subtle pastel hues, gentle contrast, and a seamless blend of natural colors, further enriching the soft, ethereal, and intimate photographic quality.

The background is minimalist and softly blurred, ensuring complete focus on the subject, and enhancing the overall sense of warmth, comfort, and inviting allure typical of high-end Japanese photobooks.

--- 4. Gamcheon Culture Village – Busan (Late Afternoon)
The tourist man in a colorful winter knit sweater, light down jacket, dark pants, and boots standing at a viewpoint overlooking the pastel-colored hillside houses of Gamcheon Culture Village. Cool winter light, cinematic depth. Main focus on the vibrant architecture, man secondary. Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a striking, ultra-sharp black and white studio portrait of a young woman with a powerful, direct gaze. She is seated gracefully on a seamless bright white floor, her legs crossed in a stylized, almost sculptural pose, with one knee raised and her hands clasped firmly over it. Her posture exudes a blend of strength and quiet contemplation. Her long, sleek, dark brown hair is meticulously parted down the middle, falling evenly over her shoulders, framing her face with elegant precision. Her makeup is refined and impactful, featuring intensely defined eyes with dark eyeliner, subtle shading, and prominent, well-groomed eyebrows. Her lips are natural, complementing her smooth, matte complexion. She is dressed in a simple, form-fitting black long-sleeved bodysuit, which accentuates the natural contours of her body without distraction. There are no accessories, maintaining a pure and minimalist aesthetic. *** The lighting is soft, even, and highly diffused, creating subtle, sculptural shadows that define her form and facial features without any harshness. The seamless pure white background provides an expansive, ethereal setting, isolating the subject and enhancing the monochromatic palette. The composition is a perfectly balanced medium full shot, centering the model and emphasizing the strong, symmetrical lines of her pose. The image is rendered with exquisite detail and clarity, from the individual strands of her hair to the subtle textures of her skin. The overall style is minimalist fine art portraiture, blending classic elegance with a contemporary edge, focusing on form, emotional depth, and timeless beauty.
