🎧 Listen to this story
According to Axios, cited by TechCrunch, OpenAI is preparing a communications push after the U.S. midterm elections to influence the debate over artificial intelligence. The company may rebrand its data centers as “AI compute campuses,” amid community opposition to such projects.
OpenAI chief global affairs officer Chris Lehane discussed proposals with Axios including AI speed limits, ways to show how the technology can empower people, and a U.S. role in developing global standards. He called the debate over data centers “good and healthy” and said communities should hold companies accountable to obtain transformative benefits from these projects.
