Reuters reports that OpenAI has said the United States is considering its Stargate project as a potential artificial intelligence data center.
The company considered the project urgent and explained its goal of the United States "beating China in the global race for artificial intelligence.”
“The DeepSeek news shows this is a real competition with high stakes. Whoever wins this race will ultimately determine what the world will be like: whether we have democratic, open, and free artificial intelligence or authoritarian artificial intelligence,” an OpenAI representative said.
The project has attracted significant interest from 16 states that want to host Stargate data centers. As the company representative noted, Texas will be the primary data center.
