The two “wizards” of artificial intelligence are working to amaze again.
Sam Altman and Satya Nadella they are thinking about a data center that will host a supercomputer at the service of AI developed by OpenAI.
Transaction value: 100 billion dollars.
He writes it The Informationthe information site created in 2013 by E. Lessin, former Wall Street Journal reporter, which focuses mainly on technology and business and is a source considered credible by industry insiders and investors.
The figure is enormous. A hundred times higher than, for example, that the Italian government has just decided to focus on the development of artificial intelligence in our country.

And a hundred times more – compared to what is spent today on the largest data centers in the world – Microsoft would invest to finance the new project.
The Information’s sources refer to the future supercomputer as “Stargate”: it would become the first of a series of data centers planned on US soil over the next six years.
But let’s get to the protagonists.
Sam Altman he is the CEO of OpenAI, the San Francisco company he created ChatGpt and triggered a technological revolution that many have compared to man’s discovery of fire and electricity.

Satya Nadellahowever, is the CEO of Microsoftthe man who made the value of the company co-founded by Bill Gates soar beyond three trillion dollars (it is currently the one with the highest market value in the world).
The fates of OpenAI and Microsoft, for at least a year, they are deeply intertwined. The first received the money (13 billion dollars) and the servers necessary for the development of its AI from Nadella’s company. The Redmond company, however, benefited from the exclusive use of OpenAI technology, with which it enriched its most popular services, such as the Microsoft365 package intended for businesses.

The supercomputer that The Information talks about would represent yet another step forward taken together, towards a future increasingly close to AGIthe general artificial intelligence pursued by Altman and the team of OpenAI researchers.
