AI seems to be everywhere, and suppliers can’t keep up with the demand. I saw an article about a Microsoft and OpenAI project called Stargate to help the companies meet their AI demands. Some think the dominant processor provider, NVIDIA, eventually won’t be able to keep up.

I’d bet even something like working the assembly line at a major auto manufacturer will be AI-assisted.

Main point: “Microsoft and OpenAI have reportedly joined forces to build a data center to support their high demand for chips, facilitate faster AI advances and development, and reduce their overreliance on NVIDIA for chips.”

More about it:

• “The project could cost up to $100 billion and possibly be launched in 2028.”
• “It’ll also feature an AI-powered supercomputer, Stargate.”

What it matters to young people:

• Massive job opportunities: The $100 billion project will likely create numerous high-tech jobs in AI, data science, and computer engineering. This presents a significant opportunity for you to enter cutting-edge fields.
• Skill demand: The project’s scale and complexity will require a wide range of skills, from AI development to infrastructure management. You can align your education and training with these in-demand skills.
• Future of AI: Stargate represents the next generation of AI infrastructure, potentially powering more advanced AI models than current versions like GPT-45. Understanding this technology could be crucial for future careers in AI and related fields.
• Cross-industry impact: The supercomputer’s capabilities may extend beyond OpenAI, potentially serving various industries. This broad applicability could open up diverse career paths if you’re  interested in AI applications across different sectors.
• Long-term project: With a potential launch in 2028, the project offers a long-term career perspective if you’re preparing to enter the workforce or choosing your educational path now.
• Innovation potential: Being part of such a groundbreaking project could provide unique opportunities for innovation and professional growth in the rapidly evolving field of AI.

What to do about it:

• Develop AI and technology skills: Learn about AI, machine learning, and other emerging technologies. Nearly half of teens believe that learning AI and technology advancements are more valuable than a traditional degree.
• Embrace continuous learning: Stay adaptable and commit to acquiring new skills throughout your career. 80% of teens feel prepared to acquire new skills from technological advancements.
• Pursue STEM education: STEM is the top-ranked career path among teens who know their field of interest. Consider exploring science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields.
• Gain practical experience: Seek internships, apprenticeships, or part-time jobs. 56% of teens believe that real-world and on-the-job experience is more beneficial than obtaining a higher education degree.
• Cultivate critical thinking: Develop the ability to think critically and adapt to new situations, as these skills are becoming increasingly important in the information age.
• Explore alternative education paths: Consider trade programs, two-year degrees, or other enrichment programs that align with your career goals.
  Stay informed about AI developments: Keep up with the latest AI trends and their potential impact on various industries.
• Develop transferable skills: Focus on acquiring skills that can be applied across different roles and industries, such as problem-solving, communication, and creativity.
• Embrace AI as a tool: Learn to work alongside AI technologies to enhance your capabilities and productivity.
• Address ethical considerations: Understand the ethical implications of AI and develop a responsible approach to using these technologies.
