OpenAI to Invest in Efforts to Build AI Infrastructure Overseas

OpenAI plans to invest in efforts outside of the US to develop the infrastructure necessary to run artificial intelligence systems, building on its Stargate effort focused on AI data centers in the US.

Under the new program, launched Wednesday, the ChatGPT maker will partner with national governments to help with efforts like building out data center capacity. The company will also help countries customize OpenAI’s products for specific languages and local needs, part of an effort toward what Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman has called “commercial diplomacy.”
