Amazon has announced that it plans to invest at least $ 5 billion in the construction of new artificial intelligence datacenters in Pennsylvania.
The retailer says the construction of new datacenters reflects the company’s commitment to the advancement of artificial intelligence technology. Pennsylvania state officials have also welcomed the project because of the creation of thousands of high -income jobs and increased tax revenue.
Amazon builds a few new artificial intelligence in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania’s governor Josh Shapiro has announced that Amazon is set to build new campuses for artificial intelligence in the cities of Silm Township and Falls Township and other places are under investigation. This means that the total amount of Amazon investment may ultimately exceed the initial estimation of $ 2 billion.
Amazon’s new cloud computing infrastructure and artificial intelligence are expected to create at least 5 full -time and high -profile information technology jobs in Pennsylvania, in addition to thousands of others in construction, operation and maintenance sectors.
Governor Pennsylvania has announced that the state, in close cooperation with local managers and Amazon, has tried to finalize the agreement, indicating a long period of negotiations aimed at attracting this important investment.
Amazon’s director of global and legal affairs David Zapulski emphasized that the company is committed to developing artificial intelligence and creating new job opportunities for local workers. While the investment is expected to increase Pennsylvania’s tax revenue, Zapulsky pointed out that Amazon’s main driver is more of a project to develop infrastructure and attract talents than tax issues.
Amazon has invested more than $ 5 billion in Pennsylvania since year 2. This amount of investment involves the remaining financing of infrastructure projects and direct payment of wages to employees. Amazon has now launched a large e -commerce network across the state, which includes 2 order processing and separation centers and 2 delivery stations in the last step.
