CEO Satya Nadella showcased the company’s artificial intelligence initiatives in
Indian agriculture, highlighting a broader push into AI technology backed by an
$80 billion investment planned for fiscal 2025.

What Happened: During a visit to the Agricultural Development Trust, Baramati in
Maharashtra, India, Nadella observed how local farmers are leveraging
Microsoft’s AI tools to optimize crop yields and combat climate challenges.

The initiative, part of Microsoft’s “Farm of the Future” project, has shown
promising early results with sugar cane yields increasing 30-40% and sucrose
content rising 20%.

“It was great to meet the team at ADT Baramati today, who are using our AI tools
to help farmers grow healthier, more sustainable harvests,” Nadella wrote on X.

The agricultural initiative utilizes Microsoft’s Azure Data Manager for
Agriculture platform, combining data from weather stations, soil sensors, and
satellite imagery to provide farmers with actionable insights through a mobile
app called Agripilot.ai.

Why It Matters: This development aligns with Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates’
vision for AI in agriculture. Gates, who owns 275,000 acres of farmland in the
United States, has been advocating for AI adoption in farming practices.

During a recent visit to India, Gates praised the country’s innovation in
digital infrastructure and its application in agriculture, particularly noting
how AI and chatbots are delivering personalized farming advice to 7.5 million
registered farmers.

Microsoft’s agricultural AI initiative comes as the company plans to invest
approximately $80 billion in AI data centers during fiscal 2025, with more than
half allocated to the United States.

The investment reflects Microsoft’s aggressive expansion in AI infrastructure,
as the company reported its AI business segment is approaching $10 billion in
annual revenue.

by Stjepan Kalinic, Benzinga Staff Writer

ZINGER KEY POINTS

 * Lithium prices to stabilize in 2025, capped by oversupply concerns and
   slower-than-expected electric vehicle market growth.
 * Domestic projects like Thacker Pass and Bonnie Claire expand reserves,
   positioning Nevada as a critical lithium hotspot.


Despite finding some footing in 2024, the lithium market's main concerns,
oversupply and slower-than-expected electric vehicle (EV) adoption could persist
this year. "This swing supply dynamic could serve as a cap on price increases in
2025, as rapid restarts may lead to a more oversupplied market than currently
forecast," Federico Gay, principal lithium analyst at Benchmark Mineral
Intelligence said, according to the BNN Bloomberg's repor Current analyst
projections estimate lithium carbonate prices will stabilize around $10,685 per
ton in 2025. As prices have dropped over 80% since 2022, the market's "invisible
