OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called Stargate, “the most important project for this era” and promised that all of the new investment his company was making would help cure diseases. Altman was actually prompted by Trump to talk about the medical advances that AI would supposedly figure out.

On his first full day in office, President Donald Trump announced a half-trillion-dollar AI initiative that will begin at Abilene's Lancium campus.

Trump said the private sector joint venture will build data centers and create more than 100,000 jobs in the United States.
