US tech giants announce AI plan worth up to $500 billion

OpenAI is teaming up with Oracle and Softbank to build data centers equipped to power artificial intelligence (AI), with plans to invest $100 billion "immediately."

Surrounded by the bosses of the three companies at the White House, US President Donald Trump said the plan is a "declaration of confidence in America's potential".

OpenAI has previously called for major investments in infrastructure to support AI and has urged government support for these plans.

ChatGPT's creator and Softbank said the joint venture, called Stargate, aims to invest $500 billion over the next four years.

"I think this will be the most important project of this era," said OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

"We wouldn't be able to do this without you, Mr. President," he added, giving credit to Trump, despite work on the project already underway.

The plan, which includes building AI infrastructure such as data centers, is expected to create more than 100,000 jobs, according to Trump.

Oracle's chief technology officer, Larry Ellison, said the first data centers are under construction in Texas and others will be built in other countries.

The Information, a technology news website, first reported on the project in March last year.

OpenAI said the announcement of the new company, which also includes UAE-backed investor MGX, was the culmination of more than a year's worth of conversations.

Other partners in the project include tech giants Microsoft, Arm and NVIDIA, according to statements from Softbank and OpenAI.

OpenAI kicked off the AI ??race in 2022 with the launch of its ChatGPT bot, which provided real-world answers to questions and showcased rapid advances in technology./ CNA
