OpenAI to Continue US Data-Centre Expansion Despite Midterm Election Concerns
OpenAI plans to continue expanding its US data centres despite concerns following a Democratic midterm election sweep that raised fears of increased scrutiny. CFO Sarah Friar emphasized ongoing investment to meet customer demand and efforts to engage communities by sharing construction plans and dropping non-disclosure agreements with officials. Opposition to data centres was a key election issue, notably in Texas, where tighter oversight was pledged. Despite market concerns, tech companies like Google remain committed to data-centre growth.
