OpenAI will launch a policy and PR push after the US midterms. It aims to align with a likely Democratic-controlled House. The push includes rebranding data centers as AI compute campuses. OpenAI will propose speed limits for advanced AI systems. It will also introduce community compacts for data center projects. The company plans to frame AI as empowering for workers and communities. It will push for US-led global AI standards based on democratic values. The effort targets the 2028 presidential race as AI becomes a key issue. OpenAI will start during the lame-duck session beginning Nov 9. It seeks to position AI as human-centered amid regulatory scrutiny.
