WASHINGTON, Oct 2 (Reuters) - Amazon's cloud computing division said on Friday it would invest more than $1 billion over the next five years in US communities where it has data centers and vowed to tackle their impacts on electricity and water usage.
Data centers, which provide the computing power to train and run AI models, have drawn opposition in communities nationwide over concerns about electricity demand, utility costs and other local impacts. The backlash poses a political challenge for Republicans heading into the US midterm elections on November 3.

华盛顿，10 月 2 日（路透社）——亚马逊云计算部门周五表示，未来五年将在美国设有数据中心的社区投资超过 10 亿美元，并承诺解决这些数据中心对电力和用水的影响。
数据中心为训练和运行人工智能模型提供计算能力，但由于担心电力需求、公用事业成本以及对当地其他方面的影响，在全美各地社区引发了反对声浪。这种反对声浪给共和党在11月3日美国中期选举前带来了政治挑战。
