After President Trump announced Project Stargate, a $500 billion AI joint venture, Ellison discussed how this technology, considered a groundbreaking medical technology, could be used to detect cancer early and improve cancer outcomes. He explained in detail how the overall treatment is possible.
Oracle founder Larry Ellison said a large-scale artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure project called Stargate is accelerating the development of cancer vaccines.
President Donald Trump announced this week that Oracle, OpenAI, and SoftBank are partnering to launch Stargate, a data center in the United States that will power AI.
Ellison, who is also Oracle’s chief technology officer, said in an interview that the company is using OpenAI and SoftBank tools to develop cancer vaccines.

“One of the most exciting things that we’re working on is, again, using the tools that Sam and Masa are providing,” Ellison said Tuesday during a news conference with President Trump in the Roosevelt Room of the White House. It can be used as a cancer vaccine.”
Ellison said a simple blood test can detect cancer early, and artificial intelligence can be used to examine blood tests to find cancers that seriously threaten a person’s health.

“Then, if we sequence the genes of that cancer tumor, we can vaccinate that person, and we can design a vaccine for that individual person to vaccinate them against that cancer.” continued Mr. Ellison. “And that vaccine, that mRNA vaccine, can be made again robotically within about 48 hours using AI.”

He continued, “Imagine early detection of cancer. A cancer vaccine is developed for a specific cancer, and within 48 hours that vaccine is available. This is the promise of AI. It is a promise for the future.”

The initial investment in the project is $100 billion, with plans to expand to $500 billion over the next four years. The first data center built under this initiative will be located in Texas, with plans to eventually expand to other states.
President Trump called it the “largest AI infrastructure project in history.”
Ahead of his second term, Trump has been working to attract private business investment in the United States. Last month, SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son joined President Trump in announcing SoftBank’s $100 billion investment plan in the United States, with the aim of creating 100,000 new jobs.
