According to new data from Bloomberg, the plan being developed by Altman gives priority to the development of relevant infrastructure in the United States. In addition to the construction of data centers, it involves the construction of new power plants and transmission facilities, as well as the expansion of the production of semiconductor components. Altman intends to attract funds from investors from Canada to implement this project. South Korea, Japan and UAE. One of the partners in the implementation of the project will be Microsoft, which has already invested more than $13 billion in OpenAI capital.

In recent weeks, OpenAI executives, including Altman, have been meeting with potential investors in Japan, South Korea, Canada, the United States and the United Arab Emirates. These negotiations were conducted in parallel with the discussion of new investments in OpenAI capital, which could raise the business capitalization to $100 billion. In addition to Thrive Capital, Microsoft, Apple and Nvidia can invest in the startup. OpenAI representatives responded to Bloomberg’s request that the company considers it important to develop additional infrastructure in the United States to promote AI systems on a global scale.

Altman’s intentions to attract funds from investors from the UAE to finance the initiative, as noted, have already caused repeated meetings between OpenAI management and representatives of the US National Security Council. In his opinion, if investors from conditionally neutral countries are not attracted to the US side, then the Chinese authorities can do this.
