The San Francisco-based firm’s “economic blueprint,” unveiled Monday, says U.S. governments should speed up permitting and provide financing for data centres and power projects in designated parts of the country. It also calls for the U.S. to form a network of countries with shared security rules to invest in AI infrastructure, and to set international standards for how the technology is used. (The Logic)

Talking point: OpenAI’s blueprint reframes as national issues two of its own long-standing concerns—that AI regulation not limit the technology’s development, and that the world build a lot more data centres to advance it. “This is a race America can and must win,” says the document, which is aimed at U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration. Trump has already named an AI czar to shape policy, and is advised by xAI founder Elon Musk, who’s fighting OpenAI in court. Meanwhile, the U.K. government launched its own AI blueprint this week, including plans for infrastructure zones and more compute capacity.
