Race for AI domination

President Donald Trump’s announcement of Stargate marks an ambitious move to maintain United States’ leadership in artificial intelligence (AI). The initiative, spearheaded by Japanese conglomerate Softbank, cloud giant Oracle, and OpenAI, aims to build advanced AI infrastructure in the US to remain ahead of China in what experts call the new arms race, given that AI is poised to impact everything from the economy to military capabilities. The project entails a staggering $500-billion investment in AI infrastructure and is expected to create over 100,000 American jobs in the immediate term.
