Amazon is dropping $50B on AI for the US government
Business
Amazon just announced it's investing up to $50 billion in artificial intelligence and supercomputing for the US government, starting in 2026.
The plan? Supercharge government tech by adding huge computing power across secure AWS regions.
It's a big move as tech giants scramble to level up their AI game.
Making government tech smarter and faster
Amazon says this investment will help break down tech barriers for agencies, rolling out advanced data centers and expanding access to tools like SageMaker (for training AI models) and Bedrock (for deploying them).
With over 11,000 government clients already on board, AWS wants to make sure public services keep up as AI becomes more essential—just like rivals OpenAI, Alphabet, and Microsoft are doing with their own mega-investments.
