OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar said the 2026 U.S. midterm results, which flipped Congress and elected governors opposed to new data centers, will not affect the company's plan to go public next year or its large data-center investments. She also disclosed 70% third-quarter revenue growth and doubled enterprise sales, framing an IPO as part of OpenAI's mission to share AI's economic value broadly.

After midterm voters broadly rejected data center expansion, OpenAI announced new community commitments, notably ending NDAs with public officials except for narrow security and trade-secret protections. The move follows Amazon's similar pledge and signals growing local political and transparency pressure on AI infrastructure buildouts.
OpenAI published a National Community Compact and a Compute Campus Policy Blueprint, pledging that residents near its owned-and-operated AI data center campuses can influence planning, hold developers accountable for power costs, and share in jobs and business opportunities. The move is a policy stance on community benefit and accountability in AI infrastructure buildout, but the documents are principle-level frameworks without disclosed sites, investment figures, or verifiable quantitative commitments.
