OpenAI 承诺数据中心项目不再与官员签署保密协议
中期选举后选民普遍反对数据中心扩张，OpenAI 随即公布面向社区的新承诺，核心是不再与公职人员签署保密协议，仅保留涉及安全、商业秘密等窄范围保护。此举跟随亚马逊此前的类似表态，反映 AI 基础设施扩张正面临日益增强的地方政治与透明度压力。
报道正文
Following this week’s midterms where voters resoundingly voiced their opposition to data center expansion, OpenAI today announced new commitments to communities where it is working on data center projects, including that it won’t use non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) with public officials.
Many data center projects have come under scrutiny for relying on NDAs to hide discussions between developers and local officials. However, OpenAI says it is now allowing “only narrow protections covering legitimate security information, trade secrets, or proprietary or competitively sensitive information.” In October, Amazon announced it would no longer use NDAs with government agencies it works with on data center projects.

OpenAI’s additional commitments include paying “the full cost” of electricity it uses and the “infrastructure needed to serve us.” It will make opportunities for local communities by publishing the jobs it expects to create and by reporting on hiring. And every future “compute campus” (its rebranding phrase for data centers) the company owns and operates will have a “local compact” that includes the commitments and will reflect “local priorities,” OpenAI says.
