The scene takes place in the Roosevelt Room of the White House this Tuesday, January 21. Donald Trump, surrounded by the biggest names in global tech, unveils his plan to dominate the race for artificial intelligence. An unprecedented coalition between OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank will be created to build the largest AI infrastructure ever imagined on American soil.
« We will create more than 100,000 American jobs and invest at least $500 billion “, proudly announces the American president. Alongside him, Sam Altman of OpenAI, Larry Ellison of Oracle and Masayoshi Son of SoftBank agree. The message is clear: America will not let China take the lead in the AI race.
A colossal infrastructure already under construction
The Stargate project is wasting no time. Groundbreaking has already begun near Abilene, Texas. Larry Ellison reveals that ten buildings are currently emerging from the ground. This is just the beginning: Twenty giant data centers are planned, each spanning nearly 50,000 square meters.
These facilities will not be simple server warehouses. Equipped with the latest technologies from NVIDIAthey will constitute the largest computing network ever created for artificial intelligence. “ This infrastructure will secure American leadership in AI and generate massive economic benefits for the entire world “, says Sam Altman.
A strategic alliance that is shaking up the industry
The announcement shakes up established alliances in the tech world. OpenAI, until now closely linked to Microsoft, will now have its own infrastructures. Microsoft remains a privileged partner, retaining its exclusive rights to OpenAI APIs until 2030, but the Redmond giant will now have to deal with this new situation.
The MGX investment fund, supported by the United Arab Emirates, is also joining the adventure as an initial investor. A geopolitical dimension that escapes no one: “ This money would normally have gone to China », Underlines Trump, clearly marking his ambitions to reindustrialize the United States.
-Larry Ellison paints an ambitious picture of the possibilities offered by this new infrastructure. “ Thanks to AI, we will be able to detect cancers early with a simple blood test “, he explains. “ We will even be able to create personalized cancer vaccines in 48 hours using AI-driven robots. »
This first phase of the project immediately mobilizes $100 billion. SoftBank is committed to injecting an additional 400 billion over the next four years. An investment which adds to the 100-200 billion already promised by Masayoshi Son in December for the American technology sector.
The announcement is already making waves: SoftBank shares have soared by more than 8% on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
