Amazon to Build AI Data Centers in North Carolina

Amazon announced on Wednesday that it plans to invest $10 billion to build new data centers in North Carolina to expand its artificial intelligence infrastructure. Amazon has earmarked up to $100 billion in capital expenditures this year, with most of it to be spent on AI-related projects. Similar to other large technology companies, Amazon is racing to enhance its artificial intelligence task capabilities to keep up with competitors such as Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI. Andy Jassy, Amazon's CEO, called generative AI a "once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity." Amazon said the investment in North Carolina will create about 500 jobs in the state. The company said, "Generative AI is driving the growing demand for advanced cloud infrastructure and computing power, and our investment will support the future AI development of AWS data centers located in North Carolina."
