OpenAI has unveiled a new National Community Compact and Compute Campus Policy Blueprint, apparently in response to the recent US midterm elections. Rather than aggressively expanding into communities, the company has opted for a more collaborative approach. According to OpenAI, every future compute campus they own and operate will have its own local compact, ensuring community engagement and transparency throughout the project's lifecycle.
The compacts will reflect local priorities and include common commitments such as funding the energy and infrastructure needs of the campus, protecting local resources, and reporting on environmental impact. OpenAI also pledges to create opportunities for local workers and businesses, publishing job creation expectations, and investing in community priorities selected by residents.
The company emphasizes the importance of public input, accountability, and transparency in their AI infrastructure development across the country.
