U.S. Plans to Develop AI Projects on Energy Department Lands by 2025
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced plans to develop artificial intelligence (AI) projects on federal lands by 2025, marking a significant step in the nation's technological advancement. The DOE has identified 16 federal sites across the country suitable for data centers and AI infrastructure, aiming to leverage these locations to enhance the nation's AI capabilities.
Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm emphasized the strategic importance of these developments, stating that the initiative will not only boost technological innovation but also contribute to the economic growth of the regions involved. The plan includes the construction of new data centers and the upgrade of existing facilities to support advanced AI research and applications.
Former President Donald Trump has also weighed in on the issue, expressing support for the development of AI data centers during his administration. The move is seen as part of a broader effort to maintain U.S. leadership in AI technology amidst global competition.
The DOE's initiative is expected to create jobs and stimulate local economies, while also positioning the U.S. as a leader in the global AI landscape. The project's timeline targets completion by 2025, with the first phase of developments set to begin later this year.
