Oracle CEO Larry Ellison said at a White House event that an artificial intelligence (AI) project announced by President Donald Trump could be used for a range of applications, including developing what he called an “mRNA vaccine” for cancer.

On Tuesday evening, Trump held a news conference alongside Ellison, SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to announce a $500 billion investment into the expansion of AI inside the United States. The project would also involve other top tech companies including Microsoft, NVIDIA, and others.
