Build AI in America

Anthropic publishes 'Build AI in America' energy and infrastructure policy report

Anthropic released a policy report calling for major U.S. investments in energy infrastructure to support frontier AI development, projecting that the U.S. AI sector will need at least 50GW of electric capacity by 2028. The report proposes two strategic pillars: building large-scale AI training infrastructure on federal lands with accelerated permitting, and broader nationwide AI deployment infrastructure including geothermal, natural gas, and nuclear expansion. Anthropic discloses internal projections that single advanced model training will require 2GW data centers in 2027 and 5GW in 2028, framing the recommendations in the context of competition with China's rapid energy buildout.
