NVIDIA and Corning to Build US Factories Creating 3,000 Jobs Amid AI Boom

Chipmaker NVIDIA and Corning, a producer of optical fiber—a key component of communication networks—will build three new production facilities in North Carolina and Texas. This investment will create approximately 3,000 new jobs.

Corning, with 175 years of history, is experiencing rapid growth by producing the optical fiber needed to build the high-speed internet communication networks essential in the AI era. Emily Capece, supervisor of Corning's Wilmington, North Carolina plant plans, stated that the increasing demand for AI platforms is directly driving the need for Corning's products. The world needs Corning's glass optical fiber to support AI demand.

This collaboration demonstrates the potential for new job creation in manufacturing alongside the rapid growth of AI technology.
