Davos: Trump's $500 billion AI bazooka adds to buzz at WEF DW 01/22/2025
Briefly

OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle announced a joint venture called Stargate that will invest up to half a trillion dollars in building artificial intelligence infrastructure over four years. This includes an immediate investment of $100 billion into data centers, with projects already underway in Texas. The announcement follows the revocation of a prior executive order aimed at regulating AI's risks. Industry experts believe that this investment will catalyze further global investment in AI while emphasizing the necessity for careful regulation to avoid ethical concerns and biases in AI development.
The US investment announcement will trigger additional investments in AI in other parts of the world. Everyone will have to be careful about what you let the machine do, what data is used for what, and by whom. Otherwise, it creates the danger of biases and unethical practices.
This joint venture represents a significant moment for American innovation in AI. By committing to the development of advanced infrastructure, we are reinforcing America’s position as a leader in this transformative technology.
