Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Monday that the company is launching a new "high-level" initiative called Meta Compute, as it invests more money in data centers and infrastructure that powers its AI push.
Zuckerberg announced that Meta plans to build "tens of gigawatts" of capacity this decade and "hundreds of gigawatts or more" over time, reports Telegraph.
"The way we design, invest, and collaborate to build this infrastructure will become a strategic advantage," Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post.
Meta has said he plans to invest $600 billion in infrastructure and jobs in the US, including artificial intelligence data centers, by 2028.
Santosh Janardhan, the company's head of infrastructure, and Daniel Gross, who joined Meta last year from artificial intelligence startup Safe Superintelligence, will lead the new Meta Compute initiative.
The two leaders will work closely with Dina Powell McCormick, Meta's newly appointed president and vice president, who will focus on partnering with governments and sovereign entities to help build and finance infrastructure.
Powell McCormick is a former deputy national security adviser to President Donald Trump and spent 16 years at Goldman Sachs. /Telegraph
