There has been a lot of focus on AI since the start of the year with the creation of a new company, called Stargate, to grow artificial intelligence infrastructure in the United States. Stargate claims to be the largest AI infrastructure project to date and has the backing of tech companies such as OpenAI, Softbank and Oracle. The vision is to build “the physical and virtual infrastructure to power the next generation of AI,” including data centers around the country.
However, this news was quickly eclipsed by the new AI chatbot from China, DeepSeek, which sent the US stock market tumbling as its apparent performance on a small budget has shaken up the tech landscape.
