An ambitious project to expand the global power of AI will pass through South America

The goal conglomerate* presented in recent data the Waterworth project, which includes the construction of an underwater cable of more than 50,000 kilometers long and with reach in the five continents, in the interest of expanding its infrastructure for the development of solutions based on artificial intelligence (AI).

With a length larger than the land circumference, the cable will have connection points in Brazil, USA, India and South Africa and «it will represent a multimillionaire and multiannual investment to expand the scale and reliability of the world’s digital highways, establishing three new oceanic corridors with abundant and high -speed connectivity, essential for innovation in artificial intelligence globally,» said the company in A statement.

In the text, it stands out: «The AI ​​is revolutionizing All aspects of our livesfrom how we interact between us to how we think about infrastructure «and, therefore, that technology» continues to transform industries and societies around the world. » Given that panorama, the company affirms that «the capacity, resilience and global reach are more important than ever to support a leading infrastructure.»

In that order, Meta* affirms that the initiative intends to «help guarantee that the benefits of the AI and other emerging technologies are available for everyoneregardless of where they live or work ».

Ready to compete

The company points out that Due to submarines passes more 95 % of all intercontinental internet trafficof which Meta* is co -owner of about 20, which use the 24 -pairs of fiber, which gives them the greatest processing capacity. However, those contemplated in the Waterworth Project will be the first of its exclusive property, reports the specialized Wired portal.

«We are also implementing a pioneering routing in its type, maximizing the cable lying in deep waters (at depths of up to 7,000 meters) and using improved burial techniques in areas of high -risk failures, such as shallow waters near the coast, for Avoid damage caused by ship anchors and other dangers, ”added Meta*.

Meta*platforms, which include Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, represent 10 % of fixed traffic and 22 % of the mobile on a global scale, says Wired. The specialized firm Telegeography estimates that with this proposal, the company will compete directly with Googlewhich to date has 33 submarine cable routes, some of them unique property.
