US technology giant Amazon has unveiled plans to invest up to $50 billion in expanding artificial intelligence (AI) and supercomputing capabilities for US government agencies through Amazon Web Services (AWS). The move aims to enhance federal agencies’ ability to integrate simulation and modeling data with AI, autonomous systems, and real-time feedback for improved decision-making.
AWS CEO Matt Garman said the investment will transform how government agencies leverage supercomputing, removing technological barriers and strengthening America’s leadership in AI. The expansion will add nearly 1.3 gigawatts of AI and supercomputing capacity across AWS Top Secret, AWS Secret, and AWS GovCloud (US) regions. New data centres equipped with advanced computing and networking technology will provide federal agencies access to AWS AI services, including SageMaker AI, Bedrock, Nova, and Anthropic Claude.
The investment supports critical government missions, from national security and cybersecurity to healthcare, energy innovation, and autonomous systems development. Amazon shares rose over 1% to $228.64 during intraday trading on 25 November 2025. The stock has returned over 43% in five years, with a market capitalization of $2.42 trillion.
