  • Technology
  • hightech
  • computing

At high speed, the US government announces the "Stargate" project - a historic USD 500 billion investment in the country's AI infrastructure. The strategic partnership between tech giants such as OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle will include the construction of 20 state-of-the-art data centres. Initial construction work in Texas has already begun. Tons of copper will be needed to build the infrastructure and data centres, which means golden times are dawning for copper exploration companies. On the one hand, demand for copper is increasing due to rapid technological advances, and on the other hand, analysts say that the price of copper could double this year. Microsoft and Nvidia emphasize the strategic importance of healthcare in the AI deal. This is precisely where Apple has an opportunity for the future. If they manage to make a breakthrough with the Apple Watch in the diabetes market, there is the potential for billions of dollars in profits. D-Wave, a quantum computer manufacturer, also seems to be on the fast track. The Silicon Valley company produces, among other things, energy-efficient AI computing solutions. Music to the ears of investors...
