The Stargate project has big implications for U.S. AI leadership, but also for who's winning the new president's ear.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman will brief U.S. officials on super-agents—AI systems set to revolutionize software development, finance, and event planning.

The Stargate project, announced as a $500 billion initiative to create advanced AI systems and job opportunities, has drawn both skepticism and support. While Musk continues to criticize the venture’s funding, Altman maintains that the project is on track and aims to benefit the country significantly.

The price of Worldcoin jumped Wednesday, leading the crypto market after OpenAI's $500 billion AI initiative was unveiled.

The Stargate project represents a bold step toward reshaping America’s AI future. Despite criticism and scepticism from industry leaders like Elon Musk, proponents such as Sam Altman remain confident in its transformative potential.

The disagreement centres around claims made by Musk that the funds promised for the project might not be available as expected.

Musk’s criticisms have escalated into legal actions. In February, he filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, accusing it of breaching its nonprofit mandate. Although the lawsuit was withdrawn in June, Musk refiled it in August, further intensifying the conflict.
