Apple (AAPL) announced Monday that it will invest over $500 billion in the United States over the next four years, focusing on artificial intelligence, silicon engineering, and skills development.

Apple said the $500 billion commitment includes investments across all 50 states, direct employment, Apple Intelligence infrastructure and data centers, corporate facilities, and Apple TV+ productions in 20 states.

Apple plans to hire 20,000 new employees in the next four years, primarily in R&D, silicon engineering, software development, AI, and machine learning.

Apple said it will also open a 250,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Houston, producing servers to power Apple Intelligence. The company said the facility, expected to open in 2026, will create thousands of jobs.

In addition, Apple will launch the Apple Manufacturing Academy in Detroit, partnering with Michigan State University to train small- and medium-sized businesses in AI and smart manufacturing techniques.
