With an aim to expand their artificial intelligence infrastructure, American AI startup company, Anthropic, said on Wednesday that it will invest $50 billion in building data centers in the United States.
According to media reports, the firm, specialising in Claude AI models, would set up the facilities in Texas and New York. The latest facilities will be set up with infrastructure provider Fluidstack.

Earlier in January, Trump had asked his administration to come up with an AI Action Plan, helping the US become the world capital in AI. Following this, several US firms rolled out their AI and energy investment pledges during the tech and AI summit in July.
