OpenAI drops NDAs with officials and promises to pay full power costs
After midterm elections in which data centre opposition drew broad support, OpenAI announced commitments for communities hosting its projects. The company said it will not use non-disclosure agreements with public officials beyond narrow protections for security information, trade secrets and competitively sensitive material. It also promised to pay the full cost of the electricity and infrastructure it uses, publish the jobs it expects to create, and attach a local compact to every compute campus it owns and operates.
