Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI (ChatGPT), is cooking up a giant plan to build factories for AI chips across the globe.

Instead of relying on others to make the brains (semiconductors) for AI development, he wants to build his own! That's the dream, and Altman's putting his money (billions of it!) where his mouth is.

  • Financing Considerations: Securing the billions needed for this venture will be a significant challenge. Altman has approached major investors like SoftBank and G42, but potential ties between G42 and companies on the US sanctions list may raise concerns and require greater scrutiny.

  • Competitive Landscape: Established chipmakers like Intel, TSMC, and Samsung command a substantial market share. Altman's venture must navigate this competitive landscape and effectively demonstrate its value proposition.

Kini Big Deal? (Why does it matter?)

If this dream comes true, we will see much more exponential increases in AI development because one of the bottlenecks is processing power, which is handled by chips.

The AI revolution is already transforming the globe, and how these chips are produced and distributed could have far-reaching consequences for everything from healthcare and transportation to the jobs we do and how we live.
