Amazon plans to invest up to US$50 billion ($77 billion) to expand its capacity to provide artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing services to entities within the US government. Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced plans to break ground next year on data centers designed specifically for federal agencies, with the goal of adding 1.3 gigawatts of capacity. The announcement was made in a company blog post.
AWS, the world’s largest provider of leased computing power, provides services to U.S. government customers in dedicated facilities that meet strict security standards. These standards take into account critical aspects such as data handling, isolation from commercial projects and the nationality of employees. The Services are tailored to the specific needs and compliance requirements of government agencies.
According to the announcement, AWS will give agencies access to Amazon’s AI tools, including those of its partner Anthropic.
