Kevin O'Leary is pushing back against calls to dramatically reduce the size of a proposed artificial intelligence data center campus in northern Utah, arguing that the project remains critical to the United States' efforts to expand computing infrastructure amid growing global competition and increasing demand for AI services.
The project, known as Stratos, is planned for Box Elder County near the Great Salt Lake and was approved earlier this year as a 40,000-acre development. The campus is expected to include large-scale data center facilities and its own power generation infrastructure, with plans calling for as much as 9 gigawatts of electricity capacity at full buildout.
