Microsoft's Brad Smith: AI safety requires more than two companies, independent evaluators needed

Microsoft is investing $10 billion in four Persian Gulf countries through 2030 to build infrastructure and strengthen cyber security. Microsoft President Brad Smith warned that AI safety progress cannot depend on just two companies alone. He emphasised the need for independent evaluators in the AI sector. Smith made these comments during an interview with Bloomberg. The investment represents Microsoft's continued expansion in the Middle East region. The company aims to develop robust digital infrastructure whilst addressing security concerns.

Microsoft to invest $10B in Gulf cloud and AI infrastructure by 2030

Microsoft announced plans to invest more than $10 billion in cloud and AI infrastructure across Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates by 2030. The figure covers both capital and operating expenses. The company will also spend over $400 million on subsea and terrestrial connectivity in the Middle East. Microsoft is already involved in the SeaMeWe-6 subsea cable system, which has landings in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Digital resilience is a core focus of the strategy. Microsoft said it would offer organisations resilience assessments, continuity planning, and data-protection programmes in the four countries. The announcement includes partnerships with Saudi Arabia's HUMAIN, Abu Dhabi's G42, and Qatar's QAI. Microsoft invested $1.5 billion in G42 for a minority stake in 2024.

Trump's 1,156 trades in July reveal tax-loss harvesting strategy applicable to high-earners

Donald Trump's July periodic transaction report revealed 1,156 trades, including sales of Microsoft and Amazon shares worth up to $25 million each. According to Trump's representatives, third-party managers conducted the trades as part of a daily tax-loss harvesting strategy. Tax-loss harvesting involves selling securities at a loss to offset realised gains, potentially adding 1% to 2% in after-tax returns during early years. The strategy only benefits investors with taxable accounts, realised gains, and high marginal tax rates, providing no advantage in retirement accounts like 401(k)s or IRAs. The high trade volume reflects tax optimisation rather than investment conviction. Microsoft closed at $498 with a market capitalisation near $3.7 trillion. The company's Azure revenue surpassed $100 billion, up 41%, whilst Microsoft guided calendar 2026 capital expenditures to approximately $175 billion.

Microsoft gives DARPA hands-on access to quantum system at new Maryland research centre

Microsoft has opened a quantum computing research centre in Maryland, giving the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency direct access to its latest quantum hardware for independent testing. The facility, located at the University of Maryland's Discovery District near Washington, houses a quantum system using Microsoft's Majorana 2 chip. Previously, DARPA evaluated Microsoft's technology remotely from machines in Redmond and Europe. The new arrangement allows DARPA experts physical access to load hardware and run their own tests. DARPA is evaluating multiple quantum firms to determine whether any approach can yield economically feasible systems by 2033. The system in Maryland will be built to accommodate future chips Microsoft is developing. Microsoft plans to have commercial quantum systems ready by 2029.
