Meta Platforms is reportedly in talks to construct a new data center campus dedicated to its artificial intelligence projects, with potential costs exceeding $200 billion, according to Reuters. The company is considering locations in states such as Louisiana, Wyoming, or Texas, with senior leaders having visited potential sites recently.

A Meta spokesperson has denied these reports, stating that the company's data center plans and capital expenditures have already been disclosed, and anything beyond that is "pure speculation." This comes amid a surge in AI investments following the launch of Microsoft-backed OpenAI's ChatGPT in 2022, as companies strive to integrate AI into their products and services.
