South Korea Builds National AI Computing Center

South Korea is building the National AI Computing Center in Haenam County as part of the Solarisdo corporate city, with construction underway and service scheduled for 2029. The 40-megawatt facility will use about 2.4 million liters of water daily for cooling, and officials aim to attract 20+ additional data centers that could raise regional water demand to roughly 60 million liters per day. Officials expect about 100 R&D jobs; civic groups warn of resource and equity concerns.
