New AI Initiative Promises Jobs and Infrastructure Boost in the U.S.

President Trump announced a major investment initiative to advance artificial intelligence in the U.S., involving a joint venture called Stargate with OpenAI, SoftBank, Oracle, and the UAE’s MGX. Initially committing $100 billion, with potential growth of up to $500 billion over four years. The venture will focus on building large data centers, starting in Texas, and creating over 100,000 American jobs. The announcement was made at the White House, with SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son, OpenAI’s Sam Altman, and Larry Ellison in attendance.

The launch of the AI initiative has sparked a public dispute among major tech leaders. Elon Musk criticized OpenAI’s partnership with the project, questioned the financial backing of companies like SoftBank, and claimed they lack the necessary funds. Sam Altman of OpenAI quickly refuted Musk’s claim in a post on X.

Additionally, CNBC reported that President Trump announced plans to fast-track the construction of power plants for artificial intelligence by using an emergency declaration. The plants would be exempt from climate targets and could use any fuel, including coal for backup power. The aim is to quickly meet the increasing energy demands of AI data centers, as power consumption is expected to rise significantly. While tech companies have focused on renewable energy, natural gas is expected to play a crucial role due to its reliability and faster deployment. Trump emphasized that the plants would connect directly to data centers, bypassing the traditional power grid.
