OpenAI is stepping back from NDAs for data center projects

Following midterm elections where voters opposed data center expansion, OpenAI announced new commitments for communities hosting its data center projects. The company will no longer use non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) with public officials, limiting confidentiality to narrow protections for security information, trade secrets, and competitively sensitive data. OpenAI also pledged to pay the full cost of electricity it uses and the infrastructure needed to serve it, to publish expected job creation and report on local hiring, and to establish a "local compact" for every future "compute campus" it owns and operates that reflects local priorities. The move follows a similar announcement by Amazon in October.
