OpenAI Pitched White House on Unprecedented Data Center Buildout.

OpenAI, a leading artificial intelligence (AI) company, has proposed the construction of massive data centers to the Biden administration. These data centers would require as much power as entire cities and are seen as crucial for developing advanced AI models and competing with China. OpenAI argues that investing in these facilities would create tens of thousands of jobs, boost the economy, and ensure the US maintains its AI leadership. However, energy executives have expressed concerns about the feasibility of powering such data centers. OpenAI's proposal is part of its efforts to strengthen AI infrastructure in the US and secure government support for the project. [Extracted from the article]
