American IT companies Microsoft and OpenAI are discussing the possibility of creating a unique data center that will become a platform for a supercomputer with artificial intelligence (AI). In this respect reports Publication of The Information, citing sources.
According to media reports, the code name of the project is Stargate. Sources estimate the project budget to be $100 billion. Funding will be provided by Microsoft and OpenAI will be responsible for creating and supporting the AI. Stargate is planned to launch in 2026.
The information says that Stargate will be one of several large-scale data centers that Microsoft plans to create together with OpenAI. It will also be the largest, most powerful and expensive. The launch of the first supercomputer from this group is planned for 2026. It will also be associated with artificial intelligence research.
It is assumed that artificial intelligence based on supercomputers can solve more complex problems than in traditional data centers.
Microsoft founder Bill Gates believesHe says that in the future, artificial intelligence technology will collapse because it cannot handle simple tasks. Although neural networks are now capable of performing light tasks.
