- A new blog article for Sam Altman describes the coming road for AI
- Altman wants to create a factory that can produce a gigawatt of new IA infrastructure every week
- Altman suggests that AI can become something that we consider as a fundamental human right
In a new blog article entitled Abunance Intelligence, Sam Altman, CEO of Openai, presents the advantages of greater computer power for AI and calls for increased investments in IA infrastructure. “If AI remains on the trajectory that we think it will be, then incredible things will be possible,” he wrote.
Although Altman does no prediction defined on what these incredible things will be, he is ready to seek the potential advantages of increased calculation power could mean for the future. “Perhaps with 10 gigawatts of calculation, the AI can understand how to cure cancer. Or with 10 gigawatts of calculation, the AI can understand how to provide a personalized tutoring to each student on earth.”
He also issues a striking warning: “If we are limited by the calculation, we will have to choose the one to be prioritized; nobody wants to make this choice, then let’s build.”
Let’s build
Altman does not write blog articles just to pontify; He generally uses them to describe the direction of the next phase of the expansion of Openai, and it is clear that it is now a question of increasing the “calculation”. Calculation is the word that Altman uses as shortcut for the gross power necessary to execute and cause LLM as Chatgpt.
In the real world, this power is equivalent to data centers – large installations the size of a warehouse filled with servers, networking equipment and cooling equipment, and as you can imagine, they need large amounts of electricity to operate and work.
Just yesterday on X.com, Altman tweeted a video showing progress on the latest OpenAi and Oracle massive data centers in Abilene, Texas. Part of the Stargate project of $ 500 billion, with five other data centers soon opening in the United States. As you can see on the video, its scale is impressive.

As we reported on Tuesday, Nvidia invests $ 100 billion in Openai and will start by deploying as much power as 10 nuclear reactors.
In his blog article, Altman explains exactly Openai’s goal with regard to data centers: “Our vision is simple: we want to create a factory that can produce a gigawatt of new AI infrastructures every week.
It is an astonishing ambition, and the one he realizes will be difficult: “The execution of this will be extremely difficult; It will take us years to reach this step and this will require innovation at all levels of the battery, from electricity chips to robotics construction.
Reflecting the new political desire for local technology in the United States, Altman writes: “We are particularly delighted to build a lot of this in the United States; At the moment, other countries are building things like chips and a new energy production much faster than us, and we want to help shoot this tide. ”
As AI becomes smarter
Altman’s vision of the future will clearly require an incredible infrastructure building to achieve, with even more data centers that we currently have in production. The massive consumption of required power has also attracted its fair share of criticism. In part, this is due to the environmental impact and has failed to produce act, and there is no indication that he will do it.
Although there is no mention of AG in his last missive, it was a popular theme of previous Altman blog articles. However, he talks about what will happen as AI becomes more intelligent: “Access to AI will be a fundamental engine of the economy, and perhaps ultimately something that we consider as a fundamental human right. Almost everyone will want more AI on their behalf. ”
Although it seems that the realization of the AC remains as elusive as never, there is no reason to think that Openai’s plans for the future will not be as innovative as we expect, and Altman wishes to reveal them soon. “In the coming months, we will talk about some of our plans and the partners with which we work to make a reality,” he wrote, before ending on the enigmatic: “We have new interesting ideas”, and I can’t wait to see what it will be.
