A report published by the technical website The Information revealed that "Meta" intends to build an artificial intelligence data center costing an estimated $200 billion, a figure close to the total GDP of New Zealand.
For comparison, this investment is equivalent to 100 times what "Meta" paid to acquire WhatsApp in 2014, making it one of the largest technological investments ever if realized.
According to the report, Meta is exploring potential locations to establish the new data center in states like Louisiana, Wyoming, and Texas.
This massive investment reflects the company's vision for the future of artificial intelligence, expecting a significant increase in demand in the coming years.
Meta has developed its smart assistant Meta AI, which operates similarly to Google's assistant Gemini and the famous OpenAI robot ChatGPT, integrating artificial intelligence into its social platforms like WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram.
The future of "Meta" is no longer solely tied to social media platforms, as the company is working to secure its position at the forefront of the artificial intelligence race.
On the other hand, "Meta" denied the accuracy of the information in The Information report, with a company spokesperson stating: "We have been clear about our data center plans, announced our planned expenses, and any talk beyond that is mere speculation."
In the context of massive technological investments, OpenAI announced the Stargate project, aiming to build new data centers over the next four years in the United States, costing up to $500 billion, in partnership with "SoftBank" and other companies.
