Nokia Commits $4 Billion to U.S. AI Research Amid Tech Sector Push
Nokia has pledged a $4 billion investment to accelerate AI research and development in the United States, targeting innovations in AI-optimized connectivity. The MOVE aligns with broader industry efforts to capitalize on the AI boom, as the Finnish telecom giant restructures its operations to prioritize AI infrastructure.
The investment includes collaboration with the U.S. government to strengthen domestic capabilities in critical technologies. A recent $1 billion deal with Nvidia, which secured a 2.9% stake in Nokia, will fuel joint development of AI-native radio access networks and advance next-generation 5G-Advanced and 6G systems.
