# Giant Leaps in AI Infrastructure We're working to produce a gigawatt of AI infrastructure every week. - **Source:** [Sam Altman](https://blog.samaltman.com) - **Published:** 2025-09-23 - **Topic:** [Data & AI](https://brifing.si/c/data-ai) - **Original article:** - **On Brifing:** https://brifing.si/s/e780cceb-71de-41c3-b668-1e581a962298 ## The Rise of AI The growth in AI service usage has been astonishing and is expected to accelerate further. As AI gets smarter, access will become a fundamental economic driver—potentially even a basic human right in the future. ## Global Needs Meeting the world's AI demands requires massive infrastructure expansion. The compute power needed for training and inference is key to developing better models, necessitating unprecedented scaling efforts. ## Transformative Potential If AI maintains its current trajectory, breakthroughs from curing cancer to personalized global education become possible. But this hinges on scaling compute power—we refuse to be limited by constraints. ## Massive Production Goal Our vision is a factory producing a gigawatt of new AI infrastructure weekly. This requires innovation at every level—from chips to energy to robotics—and will become one of history's most significant infrastructure projects. ## Reclaiming US Leadership We aim to build much of this infrastructure in the US. To counter other nations' faster progress in chip fabs and energy production, we're taking action to strengthen America's technological position. ## Future Financing Increased compute power directly drives revenue growth. That's why we're developing innovative financing approaches for this project. We'll soon share details about our plans and partners. ## Sources covering this story - https://blog.samaltman.com/abundant-intelligence — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
