Our 5-point Community-First AI Infrastructure plan is built on a simple promise: datacenter growth should strengthen every place we serve. From protecting local resources and creating jobs, to investing in AI skills and supporting nonprofits, we’re committed to making sure technology lifts communities, not just companies. aka.ms/CommunityFirst…

Today, we are announcing @Microsoft's five‑point plan for building Community‑First AI Infrastructure, our pledge to build and operate datacenters responsibly as we help power the next generation of AI. Progress must go hand in hand with partnership, and these commitments set a high bar for how we work with communities across the United States. Building AI infrastructure isn’t just about technology, it’s about a long-term view that benefits everyone. aka.ms/CommunityFirst…

Accelerating scientific discovery through AI and quantum is key to tackling challenges like sustainable materials, clean energy, biosecurity, and drug discovery. We commend the Administration’s vision and stand ready to partner to ensure America leads in advancing research and development and setting global standards.

.@Microsoft + @Corning = a breakthrough for U.S. AI infrastructure 📍Hollow Core Fiber (HCF) made in North Carolina ⚡ ~47% faster speeds 🔐 Quantum-safe links 🏭 Rebuilding domestic manufacturing 🚀 Accelerating AI deployment Proud to support the U.S. AI Action Plan. #AIInfrastructure #QuantumReady #MadeInAmerica

AI will help define the next generation’s profession the way PCs defined mine. The Presidential AI Challenge calls on educators to lead with AI — and @Microsoft is here to support with the tools and training to prepare students for the jobs of tomorrow.

For more than four decades, Microsoft has partnered with the U.S. Government to serve the American people. From modernizing IT infrastructure to advancing cybersecurity, our partnership has always been rooted in trust, innovation, and shared purpose. Today, we are building on that legacy with a new agreement with the U.S. General Services Administration — including a no-cost Microsoft 365 Copilot offer — to accelerate the adoption of AI and digital technologies across federal agencies and deliver more than $3 billion in total savings to taxpayers in the first year alone. This collaboration is about empowering public servants with the tools they need to deliver on their missions more effectively and securely. By bringing the latest advances in cloud and AI — including Azure, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Dynamics 365, and our security platforms — backed by industry-leading security and compliance certifications, we aim to help agencies modernize systems, improve citizen services, and advance their technology transformation goals.

It's hard to tell the story of @Microsoft without starting with where our co-founders met—in a school computer lab. We applaud the Pledge to America's Youth by the @WhiteHouse, giving this generation of educators the tools to inspire curiosity that will change the world again.

What’s the purpose of #AI? During my senate testimony last week, I shared the fundamental question that guides our ambitions as a technology company. @Microsoft

"There’s a huge opportunity for people to grow their jobs and careers, but they need the skills to do that.” @Microsoft Vice Chair and President @BradSmi explains how AI can boost the American economy, & what's needed to ensure the US leads in AI. msft.it/6013SkpUF

@BradSmi AI has the potential to transform every part of our economy. @Microsoft is committed to ensuring American leadership in AI by investing in infrastructure, innovation, and skilling—so everyone can benefit from the opportunities AI brings.

Today I joined others in testifying before the Senate Commerce Committee. As we discussed, it’s essential for the U.S. to continue to invest in both AI innovation and diffusion, while supporting the export of AI to American friends and allies. blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/…

Today at 10 am ET, @BradSmi is testifying in front of the Senate Commerce Committee on winning the global AI race. From innovation to global partnerships, his remarks outline what it’ll take to stay competitive. Watch it live: commerce.senate.gov/2025/5/winning…

@microsoft 50th on the Space Needle.

Three Microsoft CEOs walk into a room on Microsoft’s 50th anniversary … and are interviewed by Copilot!

The future won’t just be built by coders and data scientists, but also by a new generation of engineers, electricians, plumbers, pipefitters, iron workers, carpenters, and other skilled trades. All good-paying jobs that will help build a more prosperous future. @FoxBusiness

The cherry blossoms buds are EXPLODING. They have reached STAGE 4 -- the buzzy "peduncle elongation" stage. Peak bloom could occur in as little as week... The weekend after this one will be hopping at the Tidal Basin!!! See our tracker for the latest: washingtonpost.com/weather/2025/c…

NEW: Cherry blossoms buds are halfway to peak bloom! They've reached stage 3 of 6 -- extension of florets. Peak will probably be in about 10 days. More info at our tracker: washingtonpost.com/weather/2025/c… Photo by @RiverGirl707

Microsoft is asking Trump to loosen and simplify AI chip export controls that apply to nations friendly with the U.S. The request shows how hard it will be to enact pro-business policies while looking tough on China. W/ @cityofthetown: wsj.com/tech/microsoft…

The U.S. AI Diffusion Rule’s relegation of American friends and allies into a second tier of computing is a strategic misstep in the global AI race. The Trump administration can course-correct to promote American AI while protecting national security interests. aka.ms/AIDiffusionRule
