Alphabet Inc（納斯達克股票代碼：GOOGL）（納斯達克股票代碼：GOOG）的首席執行官Sundar Pichai宣佈向俄亥俄州的數據中心投資23億美元，進一步鞏固了該州作爲新興技術中心的地位。

The investment will be directed towards the continued innovation of Google Cloud services and AI, as reported by NBC4i. This announcement brings Google's total investments in Ohio projects to over $5 billion since 2019.
這筆投資將用於繼續創新Google Cloud服務和人工智能，據NBC4i報道。自2019年以來，此公告將使Google在俄亥俄州項目的總投資超過50億美元。
Additional investments will be made in Google's data centers in Columbus, Lancaster, and New Albany. The announcement was made at Google's data center on Lockbourne Road in Columbus, where Pichai was joined by Ohio Lieutenant Governor Jon Husted and several other local leaders.
Google還將在哥倫布、蘭開斯特和紐奧爾巴尼的數據中心進行額外的投資。這一公告是在Google的哥倫布Lockbourne Road數據中心宣佈的，Pichai與俄亥俄州副州長Jon Husted和其他幾名當地領導人一起出席了發佈會。
Why It Matters: This significant investment in Ohio's tech infrastructure comes at a time when the demand for AI data centers is on the rise. This investment in Ohio is part of a larger trend of tech companies expanding their data center operations. In May, Google announced a $1.1 billion investment in its Finnish AI data center to strengthen its AI business in Europe.
這筆對俄亥俄州技術基礎設施的重大投資是在需求增長之際進行的。該投資是科技公司擴大數據中心業務的一個大趨勢。今年5月，谷歌宣佈對其芬蘭人工智能數據中心進行了11億美元的投資，以增強其在歐洲的人工智能業務。
Companies are increasingly focusing on expanding their data center capabilities to meet the growing need for AI infrastructure. For instance, Apple Inc. is reportedly developing its own AI chips for data centers, a move that could disrupt the market.
公司越來越關注擴大其數據中心的能力，以滿足對人工智能基礎設施的不斷增長的需求。例如，據報道，蘋果公司正在開發其自己的數據中心人工智能芯片，這可能會影響市場。
Meanwhile, Google's DeepMind is transitioning from a research lab to an AI product factory, potentially challenging Google's long-standing dominance in foundational research. This shift in focus further underscores the increasing importance of AI infrastructure in the tech industry.
與此同時，谷歌的DeepMind正在從一個研究實驗室轉變爲一個人工智能產品製造廠，這有可能挑戰谷歌在基礎研究領域的長期主導地位。這一轉變進一步凸顯了科技行業中人工智能基礎設施的日益重要。
Additionally, Amazon.com Inc.'s cloud computing arm, Amazon Web Services, is in talks to invest billions in an Italian data center expansion as part of its strategy to enhance its cloud services across Europe.
此外，亞馬遜公司的雲計算服務商Amazon Web Services正在討論在意大利進行數十億美元的數據中心擴建投資，作爲增強其在歐洲雲服務方面的策略的一部分。
