OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wants to raise $7 trillion for chip production to help AI systems, but he has yet to show AI is moving in a direction that will help us.
OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman is reportedly seeking to raise up to $7 trillion for a project addressing the massive global shortage in semiconductor chips, prompted by the rapid growth in the demand for generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). But it’s much more than that, according to Altman:
“We believe the world needs more AI infrastructure — fab capacity, energy, data centers, etc. — than people are currently planning to build. Building massive-scale AI infrastructure, and a resilient supply chain, is crucial to economic competitiveness. OpenAI will try to help!” Altman wrote in an X post.
Is it indeed for securing “our collective future”? Or OpenAI's future?
