Meta Platforms announced on Friday that it will invest $600 billion in U.S. infrastructure and job creation over the next three years, with a major focus on developing artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. The massive investment underscores Meta’s race to build the computing infrastructure necessary to achieve its long-term AI goals.
The company has intensified its AI ambitions, aiming for the development of superintelligence—a stage where machines could potentially surpass human intelligence. To reach this milestone, Meta plans to pour hundreds of billions of dollars into building and expanding large-scale AI data centers across the United States.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg shared details of the plan with U.S. President Donald Trump during a White House dinner in September, confirming that Meta will invest “at least $600 billion” domestically in the coming years.
On a recent earnings call, Zuckerberg said the company’s strategy is to “aggressively front-load capacity” to be ready for the most optimistic AI development scenarios.
Meta has also projected “notably larger” capital expenditures for next year, primarily driven by its heavy spending on AI infrastructure.
The company recently finalized a $27 billion financing deal with Blue Owl Capital to fund its Louisiana data center, Meta’s largest project worldwide. In addition, it announced a $1.5 billion investment in a Texas data center in October—its 29th facility globally.
With these aggressive moves, Meta is positioning itself at the forefront of the AI revolution, building the digital backbone to support its next generation of technologies.
