Billionaire-owned Nvidia and Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup, xAI, have joined a powerful consortium backed by Microsoft and BlackRock to accelerate the expansion of AI infrastructure across the United States.
The partnership, announced on Wednesday, aims to invest more than $30 billion in data centers, computing resources, and energy facilities critical for the next wave of AI-driven applications, including technologies like OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
The initiative, originally launched last year, has been rebranded as the AI Infrastructure Partnership (AIP) and is now pursuing additional investment to scale operations.
