Oracle, OpenAI, and significant investors from Japan and the UAE have initiated a $100 billion project to establish data centers designed to enhance AI applications. Coined 'Stargate', this project is critical for boosting computing power in the AI space. Oracle's CEO Larry Ellison disclosed plans for 10 large-scale data centers in Texas, increasing to 20 over time. OpenAI's Sam Altman expressed that this effort could create hundreds of thousands of jobs and position the U.S. advantageously against China in AI development, linking economic growth to innovation, amid concerns of losing competitive edge.
The venture is being operated by generative AI company OpenAI, which will be the primary user of the data centers, a person familiar with the deal told Defense One.
For [artificial general intelligence] to get built here, to create hundreds of thousands of jobs, to create a new industry centered here.”
U.S. officials across the U.S. political spectrum have emphasized the importance of retaining the U.S. lead in AI over China.
What we want to do is, we want to keep it in this country. China is a competitor.”
