History

Historical Context

After IBM’s Deep Blue defeated Garry Kasparov in 1997, the U.S. government increased federal funding for AI, a trajectory that accelerated with the 2017 transformer breakthrough and the 2020s AI boom. In January 2025 President Donald Trump announced the $500 billion Stargate joint venture with OpenAI, SoftBank, Oracle and MGX, and now plans a White House meeting with OpenAI and Microsoft on AI equity.
