OpenAI is stepping back from NDAs for data center projects
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.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets frame the story around OpenAI’s new policy proposal for data centers and its promise of greater local input. CNBC is the only one to foreground the election rebuke in its headline and to spell out the pledge to stop using NDAs, while Bloomberg Technology emphasizes avoiding nondisclosure agreements and keeping residents from paying for electricity. The New York Times is the broadest, describing the company as seeking a more collaborative approach with communities.
