Stargate's first data center campus in Texas, a joint venture by Oracle, OpenAI, and SoftBank, could cost an estimated $1.1 billion.

Despite its massive scale, Stargate intends to employ “at least” 57 full-time employees earning an average wage of just $57,600 annually, according to documents seen by Bloomberg regarding the ambitious data center project.

Stargate — the joint venture between OpenAI, Softbank and Oracle — is starting its AI infrastructure plans with 10 data centers in Texas.

Trump called Stargate the “largest AI infrastructure project, by far, in history.” OpenAI said in a press release that Stargate is a “new company which intends to invest $500 billion over the next four years building new AI infrastructure for OpenAI in the United States,” adding that it will begin deploying $100 billion “immediately.”

The biggest figures in artificial intelligence sparred over the dangers of the rapidly advancing technology at the World Economic Forum this week, as hype swirled around a $500bn AI infrastructure project touted by Donald Trump.

President Donald Trump announced an A.I. initiative called Stargate. During a press conference at the White House attended by SoftBank (SFTBF) CEO Masayoshi Son and Oracle founder Larry Ellison, the returning President told reporters the initiative will invest $500 billion—equivalent to almost 2 percent of the annual U.
