A day after his inauguration, President Trump has announced the Stargate AI investment project to invest up to $500 billion to ensure America's dominance and leadership in artificial intelligence while creating hundreds of thousands of AI jobs for Americans.
Funding of $100 billion is immediately available for spending, with the remainder promised to be available in upcoming years by MGX, OpenAI, Oracle, and Softbank. Projects already underway include ten 500,000 sq. ft. data centers in Abilene, Texas, with 20 planned. Stargate is also partnering with ARM, Microsoft, and Nvidia on the necessary technology.
Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son noted that the project is not just for profits, but also to help humanity in innovative ways that only AI can. Oracle founder Larry Ellison noted the far reaching ability of AI to potentially create customized cancer vaccines from blood tests.
