OpenAI announced the Stargate Project today with the aim of building the US’s artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure that will ensure it remains a technology leader in the technology industry. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said the company will invest $500 billion (RM 2.23 trillion) in the Stargate Project over four years.
The project is being made possible by OpenAI in partnership with SoftBank, Oracle, and MGX. Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son has been appointed as the chairman of the Stargate Project. Meanwhile, Arm, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Oracle are also key technology partners
The initial $100 billion investment has already been made with construction in Texas, and OpenAI is currently scouting other locations in the US that could potentially become the next Stargate Project campus. The construction of this mega AI project is an effort to reindustrialize the US and provide strategic capabilities to protect the security of the US and its allies.
