This initiative will first be launched in various states in the United States, with an expected cost of billions of dollars.

According to insiders, Sam Altman, the "father of ChatGPT" and CEO of OpenAI, plans to convene global investors to support the development of artificial intelligence by building infrastructure.

Currently, this plan is becoming clearer, with a focus on the initial launch in various states in the United States, with an expected cost of billions of dollars.

Altman seeks AI infrastructure plan.

According to foreign media reports this year, as early as the beginning of this year, Altman has been seeking support from the US government for this project. The project aims to form a global investor alliance to provide funding for the expensive infrastructure needed to support the rapid development of artificial intelligence.

Now, Altman and his team are studying some details that were not previously reported, including plans specifically targeting various states in the United States.

The types of projects under discussion, according to the insider, include the construction of data centers, increasing energy capacity and transmission through turbines and generators, and expanding the semiconductor manufacturing industry.

They stated that supporters of this project may include investors from Canada, South Korea, Japan, and the United Arab Emirates.

OpenAI also hopes that other private companies can participate in this project. Microsoft, the largest investor in ChatGPT, may be one of the potential partners. In response to this news, Microsoft stated that it is aware of and involved in all efforts related to the company's infrastructure.

OpenAI executives collectively appeared.

According to insiders, OpenAI executives, including Ultron, have been meeting with investors in recent weeks to advance the deal.

According to reports, Jason Kwon, Chief Strategy Officer of OpenAI, has recently traveled to Japan and South Korea to discuss the plan with investors. Chris Lehane, OpenAI's Vice President of Global Policy, also discussed with investors in Canada. Insiders said that after earlier meetings, Ultron also had further discussions with investors in the United Arab Emirates. He also had conversations with American investors.

Meanwhile, OpenAI is about to receive a new round of funding worth tens of billions of dollars, pushing the company's valuation to over $100 billion. This transaction is expected to be led by Thrive Capital, with participation from Microsoft, Apple, and NVIDIA.

When asked about their plans to drive infrastructure development, a spokesperson for OpenAI stated that they believe that building more infrastructure in the United States is crucial for further advancing AI and making it widely accessible. They added, 'We are considering this goal and look forward to sharing more details later.'

Or cause concerns about US national security?

Ultron previously stated that the United States urgently needs infrastructure to support artificial intelligence. Ultron expressed concern about the current AI infrastructure situation in the United States, as AI infrastructure is crucial for maintaining the country's technological leadership.

In a column in The Washington Post, he wrote: "U.S. policymakers must collaborate with the private sector to build a large amount of physical infrastructure—from datacenters to power plants—in order to enable ai systems to run."

An individual familiar with Altman's thinking said that, in addition to OpenAI, other companies will also benefit from these infrastructure projects, and countries allied with the USA will also benefit. Supporters of this effort believe that the additional benefits of these projects include job creation and complementing the Biden administration's introduction of the "chip and science act."

But OpenAI's global ambitions may raise concerns within the U.S. national security establishment. According to sources, in recent months, OpenAI has held meetings with the U.S. National Security Council about its planned investments.

According to a source, during the discussions, Altman and other executives from OpenAI emphasized that the global infrastructure plan will establish a multinational alliance to help enhance the USA's geopolitical advantages.
