Pittsburgh: the president of the United States, Donald Trump, has announced a massive plan of $ 92 billion to help boost the growing world of artificial intelligence.
He said this while talking in Pennsylvania at the inaugural Energy and Innovation Summit of Pennsylvania at the Carnegie Mellon University, where much of the approach was to overcome China in the global race for the AI domain.
The movement occurs as concerns grow on whether the current system can be kept up to date with the rhythm rise.
He said the investment would support new energy and infrastructure projects to meet the growing demand for electricity promoted by AI technology.
“Today’s commitments guarantee that the future is designed, built and made here in Pennsylvania and here in Pittsburgh, and I have to say that here in the United States of America,” Trump said in the event.
The technological world has completely adopted generative AI as the next great technological leap, but concerns are increasing that the vast energy it requires cannot be supported by current infrastructure, especially in the United States.
The generative AI depends largely on the immense computer power, in large part to operate Hungry Energy processors in Nvidia, the company based in California now classified the most valuable company in the world for market capitalization.
Officials estimate that by 2028, technology companies will require up to five energy gigawatts to support AI, sufficient electricity to supply around five million homes.
The senior executives of Palantir, Anthropic, Exxon and Chevron were present at the summit.
The funds will be assigned to build new data centers, expand energy generation, update network infrastructure and support AI training and learning programs.
Race to overcome China
Among the key investments, Google has promised $ 25 billion to build data centers ready for AI in Pennsylvania and nearby regions.
“We support the clear and urgent leadership of President Trump in which our nation invests in the … so that the United States can continue leading the AI,” said Ruth Porrat, president and investment director of Google.
Google also announced a collaboration with Brookfield Asset Management to modernize two hydroelectric facilities in Pennsylvania, which represents 670 MW of added capacity to the regional network.
The Blackstone investment firm has committed more than $ 25 billion for new data and energy infrastructure centers.
The American senator David McCormick of Pennsylvania described the “greatly significant investments for pensilvania and critic for the future of the country.”
His comments echo a growing opinion in Washington that the United States should not be left behind China in the race for the leadership of AI.
“We are far ahead of China and the plants are starting, the construction is starting,” Trump said.
The president of the United States launched the “Stargate” project in January, with plans to invest up to $ 500 billion in national infrastructure of AI, a direct response to the intensification of competition with China.
The Japanese technological giant Softbank, together with the Chatgpt Openai and Oracle manufacturer, are investing $ 100 billion in the initial phase of the project.
Trump has also reversed many of the Biden administration policies that placed verifications to develop advanced AI algorithms and restricted exports of avant -garde technologies to certain allied nations.
It is expected that your own road map AI at the end of this month.
