OpenAI 宣布在数据中心项目中不再与公职人员签署保密协议（NDA），仅保留涉及安全信息、商业机密或竞争敏感信息的有限保护。这一表态出现在本周中期选举选民明确反对数据中心扩张之后，OpenAI 同时承诺承担其用电的“全部成本”及所需基础设施费用，并公布预计创造的岗位和招聘情况。

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.
