## Stargate Community: A Participatory Approach to AI Stargate Community has outlined its plans for an AI infrastructure that puts the community first. The initiative envisions locally developed plans that take into account specific energy needs, local workforce priorities, and direct input from community members. This approach aims to ensure that the development and implementation of AI infrastructure is aligned with the needs and values of the communities it will serve. Active community involvement in the decision-making process is a key element for the success of this initiative. ## General Context Artificial intelligence is becoming an increasingly important component of the global economy. The need for adequate infrastructure to support the development and implementation of AI solutions is constantly growing. In this context, initiatives such as Stargate Community, which promote a participatory and inclusive approach, can help ensure that the benefits of AI are distributed equitably and that the concerns of local communities are taken into account.
