Odaily News According to people familiar with the matter, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's plan to attract global investors to support the construction of artificial intelligence AI infrastructure is becoming clearer, with a focus on starting in U.S. states first and expected to cost tens of billions of dollars. The types of projects being discussed include building data centers, increasing energy capacity and transmission through turbines and generators, and expanding semiconductor manufacturing. Supporters may include investors in Canada, South Korea, Japan and the United Arab Emirates. Other private companies are also expected to participate in the project. Microsoft, OpenAI's largest investor, may be a potential partner, but Microsoft did not comment specifically on the project, but said it was aware of and involved in any of the company's broad infrastructure-related efforts.
