Axios reports OpenAI is preparing a post-midterms PR push and that chief global affairs officer Chris Lehane discussed several proposals, including rebranding data centers as “AI compute campuses,” advocating for U.S. involvement in global AI standards, and exploring AI “speed limits.” Lehane framed the data center debate as healthy public scrutiny; the report notes Amazon and Microsoft have faced related local-government negotiating controversies over NDAs.
