IT Home, November 2 news: According to a report yesterday by foreign media outlet Axios, OpenAI is preparing to launch a large-scale public relations campaign after the U.S. midterm elections conclude on Tuesday.
OpenAI Chief Global Affairs Officer Chris Lehane said of this that the midterm elections will serve as a "trailer" for the 2028 presidential election. In the future, artificial intelligence will become a core issue in the elections.
IT Home notes that OpenAI plans to strengthen communication with the public on AI-related topics in the future. Lehane mentioned that they plan to establish limits on the pace of AI development; find ways to help people recognize how AI empowers daily life; push for U.S. participation in setting global standards; and rebrand data centers as "AI compute parks."
Lehane believes that the discussion between AI companies and the public about data centers will be a "good and healthy dialogue." Previously, as controversy over data center construction continued to escalate, Amazon and Microsoft announced that they will no longer use confidentiality agreements when negotiating related projects with local governments.
