President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced Stargate, a new entity that plans to invest $500 billion in artificial intelligence infrastructure with the goal of making advancements in industries like health care and positioning the U.S. as the leader in AI.

Anthropic's latest funding round will place it among the most valuable unlisted companies in the US. It's a group that includes SpaceX and OpenAI.

Shortly after President Donald Trump announced a new massive AI infrastructure investment from the White House, “First Buddy” Elon Musk tried to tear it down.

The initiative announced by President Donald Trump will aim to "secure American leadership in AI" while also creating jobs and economic benefit.

Trump was joined by SoftBank Group Corp.’s Masayoshi Son, OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Oracle Corp.’s Larry Ellison at the White House to announce the venture, dubbed Stargate, which they said would deploy $100 billion immediately with the goal of eventually spending $500 billion for the construction of data centers and physical campuses.

Mr. Trump had claimed the A.I. announcement as an early trophy, taking credit for the companies’ decision to spend up to $500 billion building data centers.
