Microsoft has announced a groundbreaking $2.7 billion investment in Brazil aimed at enhancing the country's artificial intelligence ecosystem. This investment, the largest by Microsoft in Brazil, is expected to unfold over the next three years and could significantly boost Brazil's GDP growth by 4.2 percentage points by 2030.
