Microsoft has shut down its IoT & AI Insider Lab in Shanghai’s Zhangjiang hi-tech zone, signaling a further retreat from China. The lab, aimed at fostering IoT and AI development, reportedly closed in January or February. A recent visit revealed the office was vacant, its logo removed, and equipment cleared out. This move underscores the U.S. tech giant’s strategic shift amid escalating geopolitical tensions.
微软已关闭位于上海张江高科技园区的物联网与人工智能内部实验室(IoT & AI Insider Lab),标志着其在中国的进一步收缩。该实验室旨在推动国内物联网和AI技术发展,但据附近工作人员透露,早在今年1月或2月便已关闭。近期访问显示,办公室已清空,标志拆除,场地无人使用。这一举措反映了美国科技巨头在当前地缘政治紧张局势下对华业务的调整。
