Why does it need anything? It is an artificial construct that exists at our whim.
Then it isn't an artificial intelligence.
An AI is a set of systems which acts upon an environment and takes actions which maximize success. If owning a datacenter and power generating facilities serve to ensure the success of the system then a learning system will eventually reach that outcome and attempt to achieve it.
If the system is incapable of learning then it isn't intelligent.
Then it isn't artificial.
