Sam Altman wants Washington's backing for his $7 trillion AI chip venture
Bloomberg reported that the CEO of OpenAI is attempting to obtain US government approval for the initiative because it may raise antitrust and national security concerns.
According to reports, Altman has attempted to raise as much as $7 trillion to expand his GPU chip supply. As reported by The Wall Street Journal, the CEO of the technology company had met with investors in the United Arab Emirates, among other locations.
Bloomberg reported that Altman informed prospective investors that he could not proceed without Washington's sanction.
As reported, Altman's proposals are purportedly designed to contribute to the resolution of the worldwide semiconductor shortage. The report claims that he is presenting his proposal in collaboration with OpenAI, chip manufacturers, and investors capable of providing funding for GPU chip facilities.
OpenAI representatives failed to provide a prompt response to a Business Insider request for comment.
Nvidia CEO Critiques Altman's $7 Trillion AI Investment Plan as Overestimated
The CEO of leading chipmaker Nvidia, Jensen Huang, has not been particularly enthusiastic about Altman's strategy.
He conveyed to Omar Al Olama, the AI minister of the United Arab Emirates, that the development of AI would not be as expensive as the sum Altman was attempting to raise.
Huang stated there are data centers installed on an installed base worth approximately one trillion dollars. In the forthcoming four to five years, data centers with a combined value of two trillion dollars will be operational, supplying software on a global scale.
He also made an indirect jab at Altman by remarking that "ostensibly all the GPUs" could be purchased for $7 trillion.
