Künstliche Intelligenz: Brasilien investiert in KI-Projekte mit den USA und China
Es geht um Investitionen in Höhe von 380 Millionen Euro. Gut die Hälfte fließt in ein Projekt mit chinesischen Konzernen. Auch die US-Chipfirma Nvidia will eine Ausschreibung für sich gewinnen.
Brasilia, Brazil is ramping up its investment in artificial intelligence (AI) technology, aiming to collaborate with projects involving companies from the United States and China. The South American nation's largest country seeks to balance its relationships with these global superpowers by not becoming overly dependent on a single company, technology, or country. According to a statement from President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's government, the strategy is to strengthen national sovereignty over data.
The government plans to allocate approximately 2.3 billion Brazilian Reais (around 380 million Euros) for AI initiatives. Almost half of this funding will go towards a supercomputer project in Rio de Janeiro, developed in partnership with Chinese firms Huawei and iFlytek. This infrastructure is set to be operational by July 2027, primarily for the development of large language models.
Around one billion Brazilian Reais will be allocated for another supercomputer in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, which is expected to become one of the world's ten most powerful AI machines. Industry insiders believe the U.S. chip giant Nvidia is likely to win the tender for this machine, which is scheduled to go live by the end of 2027.
