Masayoshi, son of SoftBank, Sam Altman de Openai and Larry Ellison d’Oracle. The 3 accredited Trump for helping to make the task possible, even if the construction has already done so and the assignment dates back to 2024.
“This will be the maximum allocation of this time,” said Altman, CEO of OpenAI.
Ellison said that the knowledge centers are already under structure with 10 low structure so far. The president of Oracle reported that the task also connected to the virtual physical conditioning files and would facilitate the processing of diseases such as cancer in all probability that a personalized vaccine arises.
“This is the beginning of the Golden Age,” said his son, referring to Trump’s inauguration that the United States would be in a “golden age” with him in the White House.
Son, a billionaire based in Japan, already committed in December to invest $100 billion in U.S. projects over the next four years. He previously committed to $50 billion in new investments ahead of Trump’s first term, which included a large stake in the troubled office-sharing company WeWork.
While Trump took similar announcements to show that his presidency stimulates the economy, there were already expectations of a large structure in knowledge centers and electric power factories for the progression of AI, which holds the promise of building productivity through the automation of paints, but also threatens it as well. to move jobs if they are poorly implemented.
Initial plans for Stargate are returning to the Biden administration. Technology data reported on the allocation in March 2024. Openai has long relied on Microsoft’s knowledge centers to build its AI systems, however, it has shown interest in building its own knowledge centers.
Operai wrote in a letter to the Biden administration department the past fall that manufacturing plans and permission of these projects “can be long and complex, specifically for energy infrastructure. “
Among the assignment partners, let’s mention Microsoft, the MGX investor and the Arm and NVIDIA chips manufacturers, according to separate statements from Oracle and Openai.
The impulse to build knowledge centers before Trump’s presidency. Last October, Blackstone’s monetary corporate estimated that the United States would see $ 1 billion invest in five -year knowledge centers, one billion dollars internationally participated.
These investment estimates recommend that a giant component of the new capital pass through Stargate because OpenAi has been established as a leader in the sector with the launch in 2022 of its chatpt, a chatbot that captured the eye of the public mind with its ability to answer the complex questions and carry out fundamental tasks.
The White House has the ease of construction new electricity productions in advance of the expansion of AI, knowing that the United States is in a competitive race opposed to China to expand the generation of increasingly followed through companies.
Still, the regulatory outlook for AI remains somewhat uncertain as Trump on Monday overturned the 2023 order signed by then-President Joe Biden to create safety standards and watermarking of AI-generated content, among other goals, in hopes of putting guardrails on the technology’s possible risks to national security and economic well-being.
CBS News first that Trump would announce the investment in AI.
The Trump supporter, Elon Musk, values more than $ 400 billion, an early investor in Openai, but since then he has challenged his transition to prestige for profit and introduced his own company of AI, Xai. Musk is also in the Rate of the “Government Efficiency Department” was officially created on Monday through Trump with the aim of reducing public spending.
Trump in the past announced in January an investment of $ 20 billion through Damac Properties in the United Arab Emirates to build AI -related knowledge centers.
