Anthropic to Invest $50 Billion in U.S. AI Data Centers
Major AI Companies Intensify Competition
to Build Data Centers Across the United States
Anthropic, the operator of the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot "Claude," will invest $50 billion (approximately 73 trillion won) in AI infrastructure in the United States.
Anthropic announced on November 12 (local time) that it plans to build customized data centers in Texas and New York to support the company's growth and long-term research plans.
The data centers, which are scheduled to begin operations in 2026, will be built in collaboration with FluidStack, an AI cloud platform that supplies GPU clusters. Anthropic projected that this investment will create 800 full-time jobs and more than 2,000 construction jobs in the United States.
Anthropic emphasized that the data center construction plan "will contribute to achieving the AI implementation plan goals of the Donald Trump administration, aimed at maintaining America's AI leadership and strengthening the nation's technology infrastructure." The company added, "We are proud to create American jobs and enhance U.S. competitiveness." CEO Dario Amodei stated, "We are getting closer to AI that accelerates scientific discovery and helps solve complex problems in ways that were previously impossible," and added, "To realize this potential, we need infrastructure that can continuously support development."
Major AI companies in the United States have recently been actively investing in domestic AI infrastructure. OpenAI, as part of its "Stargate" project, announced plans to build data centers across the U.S. in partnership with SoftBank and Oracle, while Microsoft revealed last September that its ongoing data center construction in Wisconsin is in the final stages.
