US President Trump has announced the “Stargate” AI project: Tech giant, including Chatgpt developer Openaai, want to invest $ 500 billion in the expansion of artificial intelligence. A decree with AI rules had previously abolished Trump.
Under the name “Stargate”, US President Trump has announced a new infrastructure project on artificial intelligence (AI), into which investments of $ 500 billion should flow in the next few years. In addition to Chatgpt developers Openaai, software giant Oracle and the Japanese technology group Softbank are on board.
First focus on Medical research
The partners initially want to invest $ 100 billion in the joint venture, the announcement in the White House said. The project should start with data centers in Texas, said Oracle founder Larry Ellison, known as Trump supporter. He pointed out that AI would improve the healthcare system with the evaluation of patient data.
Openai CEO Sam Altman said “Stargate” will be one of the most important projects for the United States. He was also convinced that with the help of AI diseases can be better combated.
Trump promises 100,000 jobs
The project will create 100,000 jobs in the USA, said Trump. Softbank boss Masayoshi Son announced that the investment volume of $ 500 billion should be achieved in four years.
“This monumental undertaking is an overwhelming declaration of trust in America's potential among a new president,” said Trump. “Stargate” will build the infrastructure, including “colossal data centers” in order to promote progress in the further development of AI applications.
AI decrees were abolished beforehand
Trump had previously lifted a decree of his predecessor Joe Biden to regulate artificial intelligence. The United States, in which the most important AI developers are done, therefore no longer have any valid state guidelines for the development of AI models.
The US regulation proved that large AI developers such as Openai and Google pass on their security ratings and other central information to federal authorities. However, it was largely based on the voluntary cooperation of companies. Large technology groups supported the regulation that smaller AI companies – many of which support Trump – were against it.
