The first data center is being constructed in Texas.
President Donald Trump announced a $100 billion initial investment into an artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure project led by a new company called Stargate. The company was founded by three tech leaders, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son, and Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison, who joined President Trump for the announcement.
The president called Stargate the “largest AI infrastructure project in history,” and said it will build “the physical and virtual infrastructure to power the next generation of AI,” including data centers around the country. The administration will invest $500 billion over four years in the project.
“What we want to do is we want to keep it in this country,” President Trump said. “China is a competitor, others are competitors. We want to be in this country, and we’re making it available. I’m gonna help a lot through emergency declarations, because we have an emergency, we have to get this stuff built. So they have to produce a lot of electricity. And we’ll make it possible for them to get this production done easily, at their own plants if they want.”
Ellison said the group’s first 1 million-square-foot data project is already under construction in Texas.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For President Trump as he sets policy regarding AI and technology.
- For U.S. cyber and digital security officials as they work to safeguard the nation’s systems.
- For the AI executives to be discerning as they create the AI data centers.
