The Stargate Project, a joint venture between OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank, aims to establish a series of state-of-the-art data centers dedicated to advancing artificial intelligence in the United States.

Both the Stargate announcement and the revocation of the AI safeguard Biden had put in place sparked widespread criticism from privacy and security experts.
