OpenAI Expands Democratic Artificial Intelligence Ambitions Globally

OpenAI aims to help countries worldwide build Artificial Intelligence infrastructure that aligns with democratic principles, inspired by its Stargate project in the US.

OpenAI has announced ambitious plans to broaden its ´democratic Artificial Intelligence´ efforts internationally, following momentum from the Stargate project—a major investment in American Artificial Intelligence infrastructure developed in partnership with Oracle and SoftBank and initiated in Abilene, Texas. The company, recognizing that large-scale Artificial Intelligence infrastructure is set to become crucial for future economic development, has fielded requests from multiple countries eager to develop their own comparable initiatives.

The core of OpenAI´s international push centers on fostering the development, deployment, and use of Artificial Intelligence systems that uphold key democratic norms. This includes ensuring people maintain the freedom to decide how they interact with Artificial Intelligence, preventing governments from exploiting these technologies to consolidate control, and safeguarding open competition within the marketplace. By establishing such standards, OpenAI aims to prevent the concentration of Artificial Intelligence-related power and deliver the broadest possible benefits of the technology.

OpenAI maintains that close collaboration with the US government is essential to advancing these aims, positioning the United States as a global leader in the responsible proliferation of Artificial Intelligence. The overarching mission is to help partner countries replicate the successes of Stargate while strictly adhering to democratic guidelines, thus scaling human creativity and productivity, and driving widespread prosperity by establishing Artificial Intelligence as the backbone of future growth.
