Meta, the parent company of Facebook, plans to build a $10 billion artificial intelligence data center in Louisiana. The project, called the AI Supercenter, will be one of the largest AI data centers in the world and will create thousands of jobs. The facility will be located in Baton Rouge and will span over 3 million square feet. It will be powered by renewable energy sources and will be designed to be energy efficient. The AI Supercenter will be used to train and run large language models and other AI systems. Meta says the facility will help the company develop more advanced AI technologies for its products and services. The project is expected to take several years to complete and will be a major investment in Louisiana’s economy. Meta has been investing heavily in AI research and development in recent years, and the AI Supercenter is a key part of the company’s AI strategy.
