OpenAI's Altman Seeks $7T for AI Chips, Ignites Global Race Amid Shortages
February 20, 2024
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman calls for a massive $5-7 trillion investment in the global chip industry to enhance AI capabilities.
The investment aims to address the ongoing chip shortage and produce advanced chips for future AI developments, including surpassing human intelligence.
The global race for AI chip dominance is escalating, with China subsidizing its AI chip industry and the US implementing sanctions to limit China's access to advanced chips.
NVIDIA currently leads the AI chip market, though there is concern over a possible market bubble in the AI sector.
AI's influence on technology and industry is projected to be significant and enduring, despite potential market risks.
OpenAI's collaboration with G42, which has connections to China, raises discussions on the implications and hazards associated with Altman's proposed chip investment.
