Mark Zuckerberg says Meta will invest hundreds of billions of dollars to build massive AI data centres in the US, aiming to develop advanced “superintelligence.”
The first centre, Prometheus, will open in Ohio by 2026. Another, Hyperion, will be built in Louisiana and fully operational by 2030. Some centres will span areas nearly the size of Manhattan, according to BBC.
Experts say Meta is positioning itself at the forefront of AI by combining top talent with powerful hardware.
The announcement lifted Meta’s shares by 1 percent. However, concerns remain over the high energy and water demands of AI infrastructure, BBC reported.
