President Donald Trump unveiled Project Stargate, a groundbreaking $500 billion initiative aimed at building advanced AI infrastructure across the United States. The project, in collaboration with Oracle’s Larry Ellison, OpenAI’s Sam Altman, and SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son, focuses on constructing massive data centers and campuses nationwide to drive AI advancements in healthcare and beyond. The first site, with 10 buildings under construction in Abilene, Texas, will expand to 20 and extend to other locations.
Key goals include revolutionizing healthcare by enabling early cancer detection through AI-analyzed blood tests and personalized mRNA vaccines created within 48 hours. Oracle’s Ellison highlighted how AI can enhance electronic health records, allowing doctors in remote areas to access treatment plans from top medical institutions. Altman emphasized AI’s potential to accelerate disease cures, while Son projected the development of artificial superintelligence to solve humanity’s toughest challenges.
