Argentina’s AI opportunity
OpenAI News阿根廷有很大潜力在拉丁美洲承办首个 Stargate 项目。以清洁能源驱动，这一标志性基础设施倡议将有助于把该国定位为区域和全球的人工智能领导者，推动经济增长并在全国范围内扩大机遇。
该项目由 Sur Energy 牵头，基于上周在布宜诺斯艾利斯举行的富有成效的会谈——梅莱伊总统、其政府内阁官员与由首席全球事务官 Chris Lehane 率领的 OpenAI 代表团参加。OpenAI 与 Sur Energy 签署了一份意向书（LOI），以探索在阿根廷建设大规模数据中心项目的可能性。Sur Energy 将作为能源与基础设施开发商，主导组建财团，并与云基础设施开发商等合作伙伴合作。Sur Energy 计划确保数据中心生态系统由安全、高效且可持续的能源驱动。OpenAI 欢迎成为潜在采购方的机会。
阿根廷正以实实在在的势头进入人工智能时代。每周有数百万阿根廷人使用 ChatGPT，过去一年中的使用率增长了三倍以上，18–34 岁的年轻人中使用率最高。阿根廷在利用 OpenAI 工具进行开发的拉美国家中也名列前茅：这表明该国不仅在使用人工智能，而且在塑造人工智能。这样的势头，加上日益壮大的开发者生态，使阿根廷成为建设能释放其全部 AI 潜力的基础设施的天然地点。
除了开发为人工智能提供动力所需的基础设施外，我们还在与阿根廷政府讨论推动 AI 在全国范围内采用的机会，作为我们“OpenAI for Countries”倡议的一部分，首先从政府内部开始。正如我们在世界各地类似合作中所见，ChatGPT 有潜力帮助阿根廷政府雇员，以及行政和研究机构加速日常工作——最终在节约成本的同时为阿根廷公民提供更好的服务。
“这一里程碑不仅关乎基础设施，更在于把 AI 带到阿根廷更多人的手中。我们很高兴与阿根廷合作，帮助其朝成为全拉丁美洲的 AI 中心迈进。梅莱伊总统对于 AI 如何推动阿根廷增长与创造力的愿景明确而有力。Stargate Argentina 将帮助把这一愿景变为现实。”——OpenAI 首席执行官 Sam Altman。
“Stargate Argentina 项目对国家来说是一次历史性机会。它将我们独特的可再生能源潜力与面向全球的人工智能关键基础设施的发展结合在一起。此联盟让阿根廷成为世界新数字与能源版图上的重要参与者，创造优质就业、吸引国际投资，并证明创新与能源可以成为可持续发展的互补引擎。”——Sur Energy 合伙人 Emiliano Kargieman。
Argentina has great potential to host the first Stargate project in Latin America. Powered by clean energy, this landmark infrastructure initiative would help position the country as a regional and global leader in artificial intelligence, driving economic growth and expanding opportunity across the country.
The project is being led by Sur Energy, building on productive discussions last week in Buenos Aires between President Milei, cabinet officials of his government, and an OpenAI delegation led by Chief Global Affairs Officer Chris Lehane. OpenAI and Sur Energy signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to explore a large-scale data center project in Argentina. Sur Energy would be the energy and infrastructure developer and lead the formation of a consortium, including partnering with a cloud infrastructure developer. Sur Energy plans to ensure that the data-center ecosystem is powered by secure, efficient, and sustainable sources. OpenAI welcomes the potential opportunity to become an offtaker.
Argentina is entering the AI era with real momentum. Millions of Argentinians use ChatGPT each week, with adoption more than tripling in the past year and highest among young adults (18–34). Argentina also ranks among the top Latin American countries for developers building on OpenAI’s tools: evidence of a country not just using AI, but shaping it. This momentum, paired with a growing developer ecosystem, makes Argentina a natural place to build the infrastructure that can unlock its full AI potential.
In addition to developing the infrastructure needed to power AI, we are discussing opportunities with the Argentinian government to drive AI adoption across Argentina, as part of our OpenAI for Countries initiative, starting within the government itself. As we have seen through similar partnerships around the world, ChatGPT has the potential to assist Argentine government employees, as well as administration and research institutions accelerate their daily work—ultimately saving costs while delivering better services to Argentinian citizens.
“This milestone is about more than just infrastructure, it’s about putting AI into the hands of more people across Argentina. We’re excited to work with Argentina as it builds toward becoming an AI hub for all of Latin America. President Milei’s vision for how AI can drive Argentina’s growth and creativity is unmistakable and strong. Stargate Argentina will help bring that vision to life.” —Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI.
“The Stargate Argentina project represents a historic opportunity for the country. It combines our unique renewable energy potential with the development of critical infrastructure for artificial intelligence on a global scale. This alliance turns Argentina into a relevant player in the world’s new digital and energy map, creating quality jobs, attracting international investment, and demonstrating that innovation and energy can be complementary engines of sustainable development.” —Emiliano Kargieman, partner of Sur Energy.
