Bell Canada plans to build six AI data centres in British Columbia, initiating the project with facilities in Kamloops and Merritt. Mirko Bibic, the company's CEO, envisions this venture as a backbone for Canada's AI economy, citing B.C.'s natural resources and innovative landscape as key factors. The Kamloops area will host three centres, and local partnerships will provide training with universities like Thompson Rivers. Emphasizing sustainability, Bibic assured that sufficient power supply exists despite concerns. The project promises to create local jobs and enhance the province's technology capabilities.
Mirko Bibic emphasized the initiative, stating, "To do it right here, starting in B.C., is a testament to all the attributes that British Columbia has in terms of the natural resources of hydroelectric power, the innovation mindset..."
Dan Rink highlighted the economic implications by explaining how the data centres will support BC businesses, helping them meet the increasing demands for AI technology.
