OpenAI 考虑将数据中心改名为「AI 算力园区」
OpenAI might rebrand its data centers as ‘AI compute campuses’
AI 导读
OpenAI 正筹备中期选举后的公关攻势，其首席全球事务官 Chris Lehane 向 Axios 透露的方案之一是把数据中心重新包装为「AI 算力园区」。
摘要与补充说明
Lehane 称中期选举是 2028 年总统大选的「预告片」，届时 AI 预计将成为核心议题，因此 OpenAI 希望主动影响 AI 辩论走向。其他提议包括为 AI 设定「限速」、帮助公众认识 AI 对日常生活的赋能作用，以及推动美国参与制定全球标准。Lehane 认为围绕数据中心的争论「良性且健康」，社区应让企业为项目负责，确保当地真正获得变革性收益。此前亚马逊和微软已表示不再在与地方政府的谈判中使用 NDA。

Data centers are deeply unpopular. But what if we called them something else?
Axios reports that OpenAI is preparing a “PR blitz” for after the midterm elections on Tuesday, as Democrats seem likely to win back the House of Representatives, and possibly the Senate, too.
The company’s chief global affairs officer Chris Lehane told Axios that the midterms will be “a bit of a movie trailer for what you’re going to see in 2028,” when he expects AI to be “the issue” in the presidential election.
So OpenAI is to influence the AI debate moving forward, with Lehane discussing several proposals, including the development of AI “speed limits”; finding ways to help people see AI as empowering them in their daily lives; pushing the U.S. to take a role in developing global standards — and yes, rebranding data centers as “AI compute campuses.”
Lehane also described the conversation around data centers (a debate that has pushed Amazon and Microsoft to say they will no longer use NDAs in their negotiations with local governments) as “good and healthy.”
“Communities should hold companies responsible and accountable so they really and truly get a transformative benefit from these projects,” he said.
