Chevron and partners start a project to use natural gas to help grow artificial intelligence.

Chevron, a big energy company, is teaming up with Engine No. 1 and GE Vernova to build new power plants in the United States. These power plants will use natural gas and be located close to data centers to provide them with a lot of electricity.

This is important because data centers need more and more power, especially for developing artificial intelligence (AI). AI is like making computers think and learn like humans, and it takes a lot of energy to run.

Recently, a Chinese company called DeepSeek created a new AI chatbot that works like ChatGPT, a popular chatbot from America. This has made people wonder if China is catching up to the US in AI technology, which has made some people nervous.

Even former President Donald Trump is interested in AI and wants America to be the best at it. He made an agreement to help a new company called Stargate build data centers and power plants in Texas specifically for AI development.

So, Chevron's project is part of a bigger push to make sure the US has enough energy for all the new AI technology being created. They believe that having a lot of energy will help America stay ahead in the race for better and more powerful AI.
