Project Stargate will bring billions
President Trump announced a new project -- dubbed Project Stargate -- that will bring billions of dollars in private investment to the AI industry. Arm will be a direct recipient of Project Stargate and will also benefit downstream from its partner, Oracle, one of the key players in the deal. Project Stargate will, in part, help fund the building of Oracle AI data centers -- good news for Arm, whose technology is featured heavily in the servers that fill these data centers.
Investors were further convinced by an interview on CNBC in which Arm's CEO discussed the financial details of Arm's part in Project Stargate as well as his company's continued relationship with SoftBank, the central financier of Project Stargate.
Trump reverses a host of Biden's orders
Trump signed an executive order reversing a slew of executive orders of the Biden era, calling them "harmful." Among these were certain regulations aimed at keeping AI safe, including the requirement that companies in the space report developments to federal regulators. Trump's new order does away with these requirements, and boosted AI stocks across the board.
