Google unveils 13 bn euro AI expansion in Finland

Google would invest at least 13 billion euros in data centres and other digital infrastructure to power its AI ambitions in Finland, in what the US tech giant called Wednesday its biggest single investment in Europe.

The $15 billion plan also called for clean energy projects over the next two years, which Google said was "a testament to Finland's leadership in responsibly building AI infrastructure". It will partner with Finnish companies and four municipalities across the country: Hamina, Kajaani, Muhos and Vaala. The buildout aims to power several of the tech giant's services, including its AI chatbot Gemini.
