This Week in AI: Trump Repeals Biden AI Rules but Launches Stargate
- President Donald Trump has overturned Joe Biden's 2023 artificial intelligence rules, which covered policies around AI's advancement. However, Trump kept Biden's orders in place restricting exports of advanced AI chips and Biden's executive order on AI cybersecurity. Trump also announced an up-to-$500bn project called Stargate, aiming to build big AI-focused data centres in the US. Stargate's first equity partners include SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle and MGX. Meanwhile, a long-rumoured AI agent, Operator, has been revealed by OpenAI, which plans to make it capable of using a computer like a human.
- Stargate will build 10 data centres initially for the first stage of the project, which is being funded by SoftBank, and later expanding to 20. Oracle Executive Chairman Larry Ellison said the first 500,000-square foot data centre is being built in Abilene, Texas, according to a PYMNTS report published on Monday. In addition to SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle and MGX, Microsoft, Arm and Nvidia will each be the project's technology partners.
- Elon Musk questioned the credibility of the funding of the Stargate project, posting: "They don't actually have the money." OpenAI CEO Sam Altman hit back, claiming Musk was "wrong, as you surely know" before inviting him to visit the first data centre site.
- At the World Economic Forum conference, AI was a dominant topic of discussion. Google DeepMind's CEO Demis Hassabis said that AI-designed drugs could be brought to clinical trials this year. Meanwhile, Anthropic CEO, Dario Amodei, said AI-powered advances in biology could lead to a doubling of human life span.
- OpenAI is developing an AI agent called Operator that can use a computer like a human. Users can ask it to order groceries, reserve tables and purchase event tickets while it is able to interpret screenshots and interact with computer screens.
