U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced over $90 billion in new private investments targeting artificial intelligence and energy infrastructure in Pennsylvania. Speaking at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Trump revealed that 20 major tech and investment firms had pledged a combined $92 billion to boost AI and energy capabilities in the state.
The announcement highlighted $25 billion investments each from Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Blackstone (NYSE:BX) aimed at building data centers and natural gas facilities. CoreWeave also committed $6 billion to expanding its data center operations in the region. The total investment figure surpassed Bloomberg’s earlier report of $70 billion.
This major funding initiative comes amid a broader trend of surging capital commitments in the U.S. AI and energy sectors. Earlier this year, OpenAI and SoftBank (OTC:SFTBY) disclosed a massive $500 billion plan to build AI infrastructure in the U.S., while Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) has pledged hundreds of billions to strengthen its AI capabilities.
Trump’s announcement aligns with his administration’s ongoing efforts to encourage domestic energy production and AI innovation. He has vowed to roll out business-friendly regulations to attract more private investment and meet the rapidly growing energy demands of AI technologies. The initiative also signals a strategic move to position Pennsylvania as a national hub for advanced computing and energy infrastructure.
As global competition for AI dominance heats up, the U.S. is accelerating efforts to scale its infrastructure, and Tuesday’s announcement represents one of the largest state-level private investment pushes in recent history. With big names leading the charge, Pennsylvania is set to become a critical player in America's AI and energy future.
