Although two prominent candidates are Salem Township and Falls Township, other places in the state are in the process of evaluating other places.

This strategic move of Amazon is not only one step in the artificial intelligence -oriented infrastructure race; It also aims to reinforce the US technological leadership. The company included the following statements in his statement:

“Our strategic investments in advanced information process infrastructure and special artificial intelligence equipment laid the foundation of the new generation productive and agent -based artificial intelligence. In this way, we strengthen the leadership of the US in the global innovation race.”

🎓 Education, employment and STEM programs are also coming

Beyond the data centers, Amazon is starting a comprehensive training program by cooperating with educational institutions and labor organizations in Pennsylvania. Within the scope of this program:

Data Center Technician Trainings,

Fiber optic fusion merge workshops,

Stem awareness and learning opportunities will be offered at K-12 level.

In this way, both the quality of the human resources in the region will be increased and new experts will be trained to contribute to the AI ​​ecosystem.

📍 A similar investment of $ 10 billion in North Carolina
