A leader in the tech world, Google, announced their plans to spend an additional $9 billion to build AI and Cloud infrastructure in Oklahoma over the next two years. According to Google, the company is planning to build a new data center campus in Stillwater while expanding its Pryor facility to fuel the capacity of Artificial Intelligence and Cloud in the U.S. with education and workforce programs. This move is a strategic decision by Google amid intensifying competition between big tech companies, which is encouraging them to build new data center sites and the skills required to develop this project to meet the increasing demand for AI services. 

Google mentioned in their statement that some part of this spending will be included in the capex plan for 2025, which was announced before, and suggested more to reveal in the foreseeable period. Google and its peers have supported their huge spending on AI development, which is crucial to increasing growth and enhancing product quality, in response to fierce competition to develop AI services in the global tech sector. Last month, Google further raised its annual capital spending plans to approx. $85 billion from $75 billion, showcasing their potential growth. 

Along with this, Google has also committed to invest $1 billion in AI education and training in U.S. higher schools and institutions, and other nonprofit organizations. The same structure has been implemented by other competitors like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Amazon to strengthen their position in the global market. This initiative by Google received responses from more than 100 universities and attracted interest from them to leverage cutting-edge technologies related to AI. 

U.S. President Trump has also announced a plan to accelerate AI adoption in the U.S., which further prompted companies like Micron, Nvidia, and CoreWeave to invest in AI infrastructure. Along with this, leading tech giant Apple has also revealed its plan to invest $600 billion in the U.S. over the next four years. These strategic moves by leading players in the U.S. showcase their dominance in the global AI landscape and the potential to achieve “Artificial general intelligence”, for which every country is racing to gain a competitive edge with AI supremacy across the globe.
