Amazon said on Tuesday that its cloud computing division, AWS, plans to invest about US$11 billion to expand its infrastructure in Georgia to support cloud computing and artificial AI technologies. Amazon said adding that this is expected to create at least 550 new high-skilled jobs. This surge in AI and cloud computing has also driven a significant increase in US electricity consumption, as AI data centers consume vast amounts of energy.
