According to BlockBeats, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is advancing plans to attract global investors for a significant artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure project. The initiative, which is expected to cost several billion dollars, will initially focus on various states in the United States.

The project discussions include building data centers, enhancing energy capacity and transmission through turbines and generators, and expanding semiconductor manufacturing. Potential investors may come from Canada, South Korea, Japan, and the United Arab Emirates. Other private companies are also anticipated to participate in the project.

Microsoft, OpenAI's largest investor, is considered a potential partner in this endeavor. While Microsoft has not provided specific comments on the project, it has acknowledged its awareness and involvement in OpenAI's broader infrastructure-related efforts.
