OpenAI's Stargate Project promises to build AI data centers and clean energy facilities across the U.S., creating 100,000 jobs. But will those promises be kept?

Artificial intelligence developer OpenAI on Thursday announced its list of 16 states, including Utah, that could potentially play host to nodes on a network of massive new data centers, the computing backbone for the privately funded $500 billion Stargate Project announced last month on President Donald Trump’s first full day in office.

An executive with the Stargate Project was in Milwaukee on Thursday looking for possible sites for a data center. The Stargate Project is a plan to invest $500 billion in building and powering data center infrastructure to advance artificial intelligence in the United States.
