Elon Musk's AI startup, xAI, is rapidly constructing a supercomputer in South Memphis, which is being touted as the 'most powerful AI training cluster' yet. The facility, referred to as the 'Gigafactory of Compute,' is already operational at the Memphis chip tech center. Despite the ambitious project, it has faced criticism from local advocates and leaders who are concerned about the lack of public feedback and the potential environmental impact. Efforts are underway to ensure the project benefits the community and addresses sustainability issues in an area familiar with environmental injustice.
