OpenAI is reportedly preparing a PR campaign to rebrand its data centers as 'AI compute campuses,' aiming to improve public perception ahead of the 2028 presidential election cycle. Chris Lehane, OpenAI's chief global affairs officer, also outlined proposals including AI 'speed limits' and pushing for U.S. leadership in global AI standards.
Background
Data centers have faced growing community opposition over environmental and land-use concerns, prompting companies like Amazon and Microsoft to drop NDAs in local government negotiations.
