(Worthy News) – The US Trump administration on Tuesday announced a private sector investment of up to $500 billion to build artificial intelligence infrastructure that will outpace AI programs being developed by other countries, USA Today reports.

The remainder is expected to come in over the next four years. with the remaining investment expected over the next four years.
CEOs Masayoshi Son of SoftBank and Sam Altman of OpenAI CEO along with Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison joined US President Donald Trump for Tuesday’s announcement of the project.
“Immediately, Stargate will be building the physical and virtual infrastructure to power the next generation of advancements in AI,” Trump said in a statement announcing the launch. “And this will include the construction of colossal data centers.”
Ellison noted there will be a range of significant health benefits to advancing Stargate, including cancer treatment. “Little fragments of those [cancer] tumors float around in your blood. So you can do early cancer detection. If you can do it using AI, you can do early cancer detection with a blood test and using AI to look at the blood test,” Ellison said.
“Once we gene sequence that cancer tumor, you can then vaccinate the person — design a vaccine for every individual person that vaccinates them against that cancer. That mRNA vaccine, you can make that robotically, again using AI, in about 48 hours,” Ellison stated.
Altman added: “We will see diseases get cured at an unprecedented rate. We will be amazed at how quickly we’re curing this cancer and that one — and heart disease.”
