According to BlockBeats, on September 4, according to people familiar with the matter, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s plan to attract global investors to support the construction of artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure is becoming clearer, with the focus first on launching in US states and expected to cost tens of billions of dollars.
The types of projects being discussed include building data centers, increasing energy capacity and transmission through turbines and generators, and expanding semiconductor manufacturing. Backers may include investors from Canada, South Korea, Japan and the United Arab Emirates. Other private companies are also expected to participate in the project.
Microsoft, OpenAI’s largest investor, could be a potential partner, though Microsoft did not comment specifically on the project but said it was aware of and involved in any of the company’s broad infrastructure-related efforts.
