WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump on Jan. 21 announced $500 billion in private sector investment to build artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure in the United States.

Trump described it as the “largest AI infrastructure project by far in history.”

Speaking during a press conference at the White House, the president said that the new American company will invest at least $500 billion in AI infrastructure in the United States, creating in the short term 100,000 American jobs.

“This monumental undertaking is a resounding declaration of confidence in America’s potential under a new President,” Trump said. “This is the money that normally would have gone to China or other countries.”

SoftBank’s billionaire CEO Masayoshi Son, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison joined Trump during the announcement at the White House.

Trump said, Stargate is “building the physical and virtual infrastructure to power the next generation of advancements in AI, and this will include the construction of colossal data centers.”
