Tech major Google is gearing up to invest USD 3 billion to set up a data centre campus in Indiana and expand its sites in Virginia, according to a Reuters report.
The company will spend USD 2 billion for the Indiana campus at Fort Wayne and USD 1 billion to expand three existing data centre campuses in Virginia.
Furthermore, the technology giant has recently announced its intention to establish a USD 75 million Google AI Opportunity Fund aimed at providing training to Americans in AI skills.
Google's strategy marks another step in the ongoing expansion efforts of major tech companies aiming to enhance their cloud computing capabilities, a surge that has been driven by the rise of artificial intelligence.
Amazon's cloud computing division has pledged USD 11 billion for the establishment of new data centres in Indiana, which will result in the creation of 1,000 job opportunities.
