Stargate's first data center campus in Texas, a joint venture by Oracle, OpenAI, and SoftBank, could cost an estimated $1.1 billion.

Stargate's first data center campus, located in Abilene, will be about 875 acres, but only says it will create at least 57 jobs.

Despite its massive scale, Stargate intends to employ “at least” 57 full-time employees earning an average wage of just $57,600 annually, according to documents seen by Bloomberg regarding the ambitious data center project.

Trump called Stargate the “largest AI infrastructure project, by far, in history.” OpenAI said in a press release that Stargate is a “new company which intends to invest $500 billion over the next four years building new AI infrastructure for OpenAI in the United States,” adding that it will begin deploying $100 billion “immediately.”

The biggest figures in artificial intelligence sparred over the dangers of the rapidly advancing technology at the World Economic Forum this week, as hype swirled around a $500bn AI infrastructure project touted by Donald Trump.

President Donald Trump announced an A.I. initiative called Stargate. During a press conference at the White House attended by SoftBank (SFTBF) CEO Masayoshi Son and Oracle founder Larry Ellison, the returning President told reporters the initiative will invest $500 billion—equivalent to almost 2 percent of the annual U.
