OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is seeking $7 trillion for new AI chip project

Sam Altman is seeking trillions in investments to overhaul the global semiconductor industry, addressing the supply-demand problem of AI chips limiting OpenAI's growth. Seeking $5T-$7T, Altman is in talks with potential investors, including the UAE government. To put the amount into perspective, it is more than Apple and Microsoft's combined market cap of $6T, or almost 7% of the entire world's total GDP.
