PIERRE, SD (KELO.com) — The growth of Artificial Intelligence is viewed as both promising and threatening – and for some cities, very profitable. Case in point is Ellendale, North Dakota, just north of Aberdeen. The town of 11-hundred people suddenly finds itself in the midst of a huge economic expansion. Applied Digital is building a large facility there. Company spokesman Nick Phillips says the impact can already be seen.
Thanks to Artificial Intelligence and the electrical connections required to power it, Ellendale has already had a one-billion dollar construction year…and is in line for another four-billion dollars worth of building. Phillips says job opportunities abound.
Phillips’ comments came at a South Dakota Public Utilities Commission hearing. The PUC is trying to get its arms around the growing power generation and transmission needs for the future.
