Amazon-backed (AMZN) Anthropic is exploring data center investments in Australia as it expands its AI infrastructure, Bloomberg reported Tuesday.

The company is particularly interested in regional locations and existing industrial sites, Jeff Bleich, Anthropic's international special envoy, said at the Australian Financial Review's Energy and Climate Summit in Sydney, according to the report.

Several state leaders have proposed projects to the company, he added.

Anthropic prefers sites away from major population centers that can run on renewable energy, Bloomberg reported. The company has not ruled out any Australian state.

Anthropic did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
