This week in AI, President Trump signed significant executive orders aimed at enhancing U.S. AI dominance, including a $500 billion infrastructure project named Stargate led by OpenAI and others. This initiative seeks to reduce regulatory constraints and foster innovation. Meanwhile, billionaire tensions arose on Twitter, notably between Elon Musk and OpenAI's Sam Altman, regarding the financing of Stargate. Additionally, a Chinese startup, Deep Seek, introduced a breakthrough AI model that is significantly cheaper to run, challenging the dominant U.S. AI landscape. These developments highlight the rapid evolution in the AI sector and its implications for global competition.
