Shares of AI-related tech companies are trading higher Wednesday after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a $500 billion AI infrastructure investment called Project Stargate.

What To Know: Trump on Tuesday announced that OpenAI, SoftBank and Oracle Corp ( ORCL ) are planning a joint venture that will result in more data centers being built, creating more than 100,000 jobs in the United States, per Reuters.

Project Stargate and its backers have committed $100 billion for immediate investment, with up to $400 billion in additional investments expected to take place over the next four years.

OpenAI’s Sam Altman, SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son and Oracle’s Larry Ellison stood alongside Trump at the White House for the launch announcement on Tuesday.

Ellison noted that twenty data centers are expected to be built under Stargate, the first of which is already under construction in Texas.
