Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) is exploring the construction of a massive data center campus to support its artificial intelligence (AI) expansion, with costs potentially exceeding $200 billion, according to The Information.
The social media giant is considering locations in Louisiana, Wyoming, or Texas, with executives having recently visited potential sites. This investment comes as AI adoption surges following OpenAI's ChatGPT launch in 2022, pushing tech companies to ramp up AI-powered innovations.
Last month, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed plans to invest up to $65 billion in AI infrastructure this year. By comparison, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is preparing to allocate around $80 billion in fiscal 2025 to develop data centers, while Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) expects to surpass its estimated $75 billion expenditure for 2024.
Meta has not yet responded to requests for comment. However, its potential data center investment underscores the intensifying race among tech giants to dominate AI, cloud computing, and digital infrastructure.
