Facing growing opposition to data centers across the United States, Amazon has announced the launch of its 'Built Together' initiative, pledging to invest over $1 billion over the next five years in communities hosting its large-scale data centers. The funds will be directed toward local priorities such as education, vocational training, and water conservation. This move aims to improve relations between the company and residents, while garnering support for Amazon's continued expansion of artificial intelligence infrastructure. Matt Garman, CEO of Amazon Web Services, stated that the race for AI dominance is a 'competition the nation cannot afford to lose,' and warned that if large-scale data center construction is halted, the U.S. could lose its edge in the global AI competition.
