The White House has launched an AI-focused datacenter task force to accelerate the advancement of US leadership in AI and coordinate policy across government.

The task force will be led by the National Economic Council, the National Security Council, and the White House Deputy Chief of Staff’s office. The introduction of this was announced through a White House roundtable recap on Thursday, September 12.

The roundtable was said to include technology leaders from Nvidia, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon, all of whom met with government officials to discuss AI energy usage, job creation, strategic locations, and datacenter capacity.

For some, AI fatigue is real — but clearly venture investors haven’t grown tired of the category.

In the first half of 2024 alone, more than $35.5 billion was invested into AI startups globally, recent Crunchbase data found. Five of the six venture rounds of more than $1 billion raised in the first half of 2024 were raised by AI companies. Since the end of June, another 10 mega-round deals have occurred, with these companies raising over $3 billion; $1 billion of that total went to one company, the new one launched by OpenAI’s co-founder Ilya Sutskever.

Here are the U.S.-based AI companies that raised $100 million or more so far in 2024.
