This collaboration, announced in a press release, aims to invest over $30 billion in AI-related projects, focusing on data centers and energy facilities needed for AI applications.

The consortium, now named the AI Infrastructure Partnership (AIP), was formed last year and has already attracted significant capital and partner interest.
