Frequently Asked Questions
What is Project Stargate?
Project Stargate is a large-scale AI infrastructure initiative announced in January 2025 by OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank, with a target of up to $500 billion in investment and roughly 10 gigawatts of computing capacity by 2029.
Is the Project Stargate book only about artificial intelligence?
No. The book looks beyond AI software itself. It examines the physical infrastructure required to power advanced AI, including chips, data centres, electricity, cooling, construction, financing and the companies involved.
Why does the book focus so much on electricity?
Because the book argues that power may become the real constraint on AI infrastructure rather than chips. Gigawatt-scale data centres require enormous amounts of electricity, while power infrastructure and permitting can take much longer to develop than AI companies want to grow.
What does Project Stargate have to do with Africa?
Includes an African Perspective throughout its analysis. Examines what Stargate's infrastructure race could mean for Africa, including questions around data centres, electricity, digital sovereignty, jobs and whether Africa could eventually become locations for large-scale AI infrastructure.
Does the book claim that Stargate will definitely lead to AGI?
No. An important part of the book is distinguishing established facts, industry forecasts and open questions. The book explicitly treats the timing and likelihood of AGI as unresolved rather than presenting a specific AGI timeline as fact.
