Donald Trump recently announced the $500 billion “Stargate” project to solidify U.S. dominance in artificial intelligence. Partnering with OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank, the plan involves building a vast network of AI-powered data centres. However, questions about funding and efficiency remain, with critics, including Elon Musk, expressing scepticism.

Complicating matters, the sudden success of China’s DeepSeek—an AI model offering similar capabilities at drastically lower costs—has disrupted markets. Sources reveal that DeepSeek’s models rival major U.S. AI players like OpenAI while being accessible as open-source tools.

These developments emphasize the growing urgency to compete in the global AI race while exposing funding, regulation, and technological innovation challenges in this rapidly shifting landscape.
