OpenAI Sets Out Safeguards for US Data Centres
OpenAI has set out safeguards for its future data centres in the United States. It says it will cover the electricity and grid costs these sites create, publish water and power use, and work with unions on local hiring and training. The company also proposes ways to make data-centre developers more accountable.
Context
Data centres are huge computer facilities that run AI and online services, and they use large amounts of power and water. Local opposition to them has grown across the US, which explains why companies are making such promises.
