Apple invests $500 billion in AI infrastructure projects

Apple has announced a $500 billion investment over the next four years, focusing on AI infrastructure, manufacturing, and silicon engineering. This marks a significant shift as Apple had previously been less vocal about its AI initiatives compared to other tech giants. As part of this investment, Apple will build a server manufacturing facility in Houston, Texas, to support its AI system. Additionally, Apple plans to increase its spending on advanced silicon in Arizona, where Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has established fabrication facilities. TSMC, already a major supplier for Apple, recently announced its own $100 billion project to expand its U.S. operations. This collaboration is expected to enhance TSMC's growth prospects as demand for AI technology continues to rise.
