Amazon doubles down on AI with $20B Pennsylvania investment
Amazon made similar commitments in North Carolina, with $10 billion earmarked to expand its data center infrastructure in the US State.
Amazon is planning to pour $20 billion into the US state of Pennsylvania to build two new data centers to expand its AI infrastructure.
The location for the data centers is still up in the air, with Salem Township and Falls Township as the frontrunners, but other Pennsylvania communities are under consideration, according to a June 9 statement from Amazon.
The AI arms race between companies has been heating up this year, with Meta reportedly in talks back in February to build a data center campus for AI projects and OpenAI announcing in January it was investing $500 billion for new AI infrastructure over the next four years.
