GoogleThe head of Apple's AI business said the company will invest more than $100 billion in developing artificial intelligence technology in the future, another sign of the ongoing investment race in Silicon Valley.
At the TED conference in Vancouver, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis was asked about a potential $100 billion machine called Stargate that Microsoft and OpenAI are planning.superComputer problems.

The topic was raised in a report from The Information last month. Hassabis responded, “We don’t talk about specific numbers, but I think we’ll invest more over time.” He did not disclose specific spending details.
Hassabis also said that the Alphabet company has more computing power than rivals such as Microsoft. Hassabis co-founded DeepMind in 2010, which was acquired by Google a decade ago. He continued: "This is one of the reasons why we partnered with Google in 2014, we knew that in order to get to artificial general intelligence (AGI), we would need a lot of computing resources."
AGI is a controversial threshold that can mean machines outperforming humans on a wide range of tasks. “That’s what it is,” Hassabis said. “And Google had and still has the most computers.” The global interest in OpenAI’s ChatGPT shows that the public is ready to accept AI systems, even if they still have flaws and errors.
