What it is: OpenAI released its National Community Compact and Compute Campus Policy Blueprint to guide responsible AI infrastructure development.

It also limits the use of non-disclosure agreements with public officials and proposes that utilities can cut power demand during shortages.
Where it is available: The commitments apply to future compute campuses owned and operated by OpenAI in the United States.
Example: At a planned campus in Effingham County, Georgia, OpenAI agreed to let Georgia Power reduce delivered power by up to 1,000 megawatts during peak demand.
