Pittsburgh: US President Donald Trump announced a massive $ 92 billion plan to help fuel the growing world of artificial intelligence.
He said this by speaking in Pennsylvania at the first summit of Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation at Carnegie Mellon University, where a large part of the accent was put on the beat of China in the world race for the domination of AI.
This decision comes as concerns are developing on the question of whether the current system can follow the AI boom at the rapid pace.
He said the investment would support new energy and infrastructure projects to meet growing electricity demand motivated by AI technology.
“Today’s commitments guarantee that the future will be designed, built and made here in Pennsylvania and here in Pittsburgh, and I must say here in the United States of America,” Trump said at the event.
The world of technology has fully adopted generating AI as the next major technological jump, but concerns rise that the vast energy it needs cannot be supported by current infrastructure, especially in the United States.
The generative AI strongly depends on immense calculation power, largely to exploit energetic processors from Nvidia, the company based in California has now classified the most precious company in the world by market capitalization.
Officials believe that in 2028, technological companies will need five energy gigawatts to support AI – enough electricity to provide around five million houses.
The senior executives of Palantir, Anthropic, Exxon and Chevron were present at the top.
Funding will be allocated to the creation of new data centers, the expansion of electricity production, upgrading of grid infrastructure and supporting AI training and learning programs.
Breed to beat China
Among key investments, Google has promised $ 25 billion to build ready -made data centers in Pennsylvania and neighboring regions.
“We support the clear and urgent management of President Trump that our nation is investing in AI … so that America can continue to lead in AI,” said Ruth Porat, president of Google and head of investments.
Google has also announced a collaboration with Brookfield Asset Management to modernize two hydroelectric installations in Pennsylvania, representing 670 MW of capacity added to the regional network.
The Blackstone investment company has hired more than $ 25 billion for new data centers and energy infrastructure.
The American senator David McCormick of Pennsylvania qualified investments “extremely significant for Pennsylvania, and essential for the future of the country”.
His remarks echo a growing opinion in Washington that the United States should not be late on China in the management of AI management.
“We are ahead of China and the plants begin, the construction begins,” said Trump.
The American president launched the “Stargate” project in January, with the intention of investing up to $ 500 billion in interior IA infrastructure – a direct response to the intensification of competition with China.
The Japanese technology giant Softbank, as well as Chatgpt-Maker Openai and Oracle, invest $ 100 billion in the initial phase of the project.
Trump has also reversed most of the Biden administration policies that have put controls on the development of advanced AI algorithms and restricted exports of advanced technologies to certain allied nations.
He should present his own roadmap AI later this month.
