Meta plans $600 billion US spend as AI data centers expand

Meta Platforms on Friday said it will invest $600 billion in U.S. infrastructure and jobs over the next three years, including artificial intelligence data centers, as the social media giant races to build infrastructure to power its AI ambitions.

Meta has doubled down on AI, with a target of achieving superintelligence, a theoretical milestone where machines outthink humans.

It has pledged hundreds of billions of dollars to build several large AI data centers and plans bigger outlays to meet compute needs.
