Move, corn and soybeans – agricultural lands in Indiana are now converted into an artificial intelligence center. Amazon leads these drawings, as it builds a huge complex for the artificial intelligence data center, which extends over an area of ​​1200 acres of previous beloved lands.
Project, designer To support the start of the anthropologist to build Amnesty International like the human brain, it is one of the most ambitious technology infrastructure efforts in the country.
To date, seven data centers have been built, with plans for about 30 others. The scale is amazing, and it requires four separate construction companies operating quickly Breakneck.
“I do not know whether they are competing for criticism, meat slices dinner, or what, but it is crazy how they wake up,” said Bill Challeal, local economic development official. “Steel begins to climb here, the next day, the steel climbs there.”
Amazon does not stop in Indiana – The Mississippi Data Data Center complexes are planned as the company races against technology giants such as Meta and Openai to build the next generation of Amnesty International’s infrastructure.
But these data centers come with great challenges. It is the power of energy, and it consumes enough electricity to operate millions of houses – the Indiana state complex alone will use 2.2 GB. It is also incredibly thirsty, relying on huge amounts of water for cooling.
Amazon uses less advanced chips to avoid complex cooling systems, but the demand for local water supply is already causing problems.
Residents protested the destruction of wet lands of construction, and some of them mention that wells are dry because the use of Amazon water draws local resources. With explosive growth of artificial intelligence, discussions about the use of energy and water will increase only – not only in Indiana, but in societies around the world face the same dilemma.
Gold rush from artificial intelligence here, but at any cost?
