Amazon Web Services (AWS), the cloud computing business of Amazon, recently announced that it will invest approximately 70 trillion South Korean won (about 50 billion US dollars) over the next six years in South Korea to expand artificial intelligence data centers and related infrastructure. This investment plan will bring AWS's total investment in South Korea to 12.6 trillion South Korean won, showing its emphasis and confidence in the regional market.
This investment will be carried out in cooperation with the South Korean conglomerate SK Group, building a large AI data center in Ulsan, an industrial city in southeastern South Korea. SK Group stated that the center is expected to become the largest AI computing facility in South Korea after its completion in 2027, greatly enhancing local data processing capabilities and model training levels.
The new South Korean government considers artificial intelligence as a strategic industry and is committed to building a global top-three AI hub. Official estimates suggest that similar investment projects will promote the coordinated development of cloud services, semiconductors, software, and related talent ecosystems. With the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence applications, the demand for regional data centers will remain high in the long term, and Amazon's move is undoubtedly a positive impact on the industry.
