25 July 2025

Introduction: A Billion-Dollar Signal

The United States has just fired the starting pistol in the global AI race. With President Trump unveiling a $92 billion investment package, the focus is now on rapid AI infrastructure development, energy-intensive data centres, and streamlined export policies. But what does this mean for UK learners, aspiring

Here’s a quick strategic breakdown of how Robust IT Training can align with the new $92 billion U.S. AI infrastructure investment:

Trump Unveils $92B U.S. AI Infrastructure & Export Plan

The U.S. government’s newly announced AI Action Plan includes:

  • $92 billion in investment for AI infrastructure

  • Loosening of export controls

  • Massive data centre buildout

This signals a major global shift in how nations will compete on AI capability, compute power, and policy control.

What This Means for You (and Robust IT Learners)

Training Implications

We should integrate modules focused on:

  • AI infrastructure risk management (resilience, data sovereignty, and compliance)

  • Global AI policy navigation (how export rules affect careers and tools)

  • Green AI and energy-efficient cloud systems (to future-proof learners as demand on power grids increases)

Suggested course to expand:
AI-900: Azure AI Fundamentals
DP-203: Data Engineering on Azure
SC-900: Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity
