November 2025 — Meta said it would invest more than $600 billion in the United States by 2028 across AI technology, infrastructure and workforce expansion.
What happened
Meta’s official announcement states that it is committing more than $600 billion in the United States by 2028 to support AI technology, infrastructure and workforce expansion. Data centers are a central part of the plan, although the total commitment is broader than data-center construction alone. That distinction matters when interpreting the headline figure.
Why it matters
The commitment illustrates how AI competition is becoming a physical-infrastructure program involving land, power, cooling, networking and long-lived facilities. It also means technology strategy is increasingly connected to utility capacity, construction delivery and local permitting.
Security and infrastructure impact
Large AI campuses expand the security perimeter. Owners need coordinated physical access, video, fire and life safety, cyber defense, contractor controls and resilient command operations from design through commissioning—not as separate late-stage packages.
