Building the Future of AI in the U.S.
As reported by CNBC on November 13, OpenAI’s “blueprint for U.S. AI infrastructure” outlines plans for AI economic zones, utilizing the U.S. Navy’s nuclear expertise, and attracting private investment in government projects. The proposal includes a North American AI alliance to compete with China and a National Transmission Highway Act to modernize the grid. OpenAI views AI as a transformative technology, driving job creation, economic growth, and advancements in energy and chip manufacturing.
The blueprint recommends speeding up permitting processes and creating research hubs at public universities. It also calls for expanding energy and fiber connectivity with government-backed funding. OpenAI highlights the Midwest and Southwest as ideal areas for AI development, with a focus on renewable energy and data centers. The plan emphasizes the need for 50 gigawatts of energy by 2030 to support AI growth and proposes small modular reactors to expand nuclear power capacity.

The Road Ahead for AI in Business
CNBC recently discussed the future of AI with Kunle Olukotun, co-founder and chief technologist at SambaNova Systems. The discussion centered on the growing demand for AI in 2025, with major tech companies continuing to invest heavily in infrastructure. While these companies are shifting from AI experimentation to deployment, there’s a significant focus on the transition from training models to using them in real-world applications. This change is leading to more complex AI systems, which integrate multiple models for business automation.
Kunle Olukotun expects that in 2025, businesses will move beyond pilot phases, widely adopting AI systems that involve more complex reasoning and interactions, rather than simple chatbots. The key to this shift will be rapid inference capabilities.
