OpenAI’s Stargate plans to sell ‘democratic AI’ to the world—while enhancing its soft global power. Will it work? 

Quick Summary:

OpenAI’s Stargate seeks to export democratic AI’—but will it also help the company secure more soft power on the global stage?

AI “diplomacy” is OpenAI, which, in the process of funding AI infrastructure overseas, would also cement its own global soft power as it seeks to expand into a massive multinational corporation.

The initiative aligns with efforts by the Trump Administration to win what it considers a fierce AI race at all costs—to protect the U.S.economy as well as prevail in the geopolitical AI chess game against China.“I think it’s a signal that we understand what is at stake,” said Daniel Newman, CEO of analyst firm The Futurum Group in an email—that is, that future world economic leadership will be decided by AI.
