OpenAI said it will avoid using confidentiality agreements when negotiating data center projects and ensure that local residents don't have to pay for the electricity needed for these projects. These promises are part of a framework which, according to OpenAI, should be incorporated into laws governing the expansion of artificial intelligence. This set of promises was announced on Thursday. Just two days ago, voters across the US supported candidates advocating restricting data center development and strengthening AI regulation in government elections at all levels. In a framework called the National Community Compact, OpenAI promises to provide clear data on the impact that issues such as noise, water use, and energy consumption may have on the community. The company also promises to reduce electricity consumption during peak electricity consumption periods, return electricity to the grid, and set local recruitment targets when local labor conditions permit. OpenAI will also publicly report on progress in implementing these commitments. OpenAI said the announcement had been planned long before the election results were released and had been in preparation for several months. OpenAI's chief global affairs officer Chris Lehane said that this includes not only some of the measures the company has previously announced in data center projects in Georgia and other places, but also added new initiatives based on exchanges between the company and residents and officials in Georgia, Ohio, Texas, etc.
