OpenAI’s Sam Altman Expects to Spend ‘Trillions’ on Infrastructure

OpenAI plans to invest trillions in AI data centers to support ChatGPT's growth, expected to have more daily conversations than all humans combined, CEO Sam Altman said.

  • OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman said he expects to spend 'trillions' on infrastructure, including data centers, to support AI development.
  • Amid user backlash, OpenAI reversed its decision to discontinue GPT-4o access after criticisms over GPT-5's less friendly tone.
  • Noting parallels, Altman said he believes ChatGPT will have billions of daily conversations, similar to the AI investment frenzy and the dot-com bubble.
