This development comes as part of a broader collaboration under the Stargate project, an ambitious initiative launched by former United States President Donald Trump. The project aims to cement the country's dominance in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector. Oracle, alongside OpenAI and SoftBank Group Corp., has committed to injecting $500 billion into this venture over the next four years.

Why This Matters: The completion of this data center is critical for the advancement of the Stargate project, which is hailed as one of the most significant AI infrastructure projects in history.
