OpenAI has announced a National Community Compact outlining commitments for its future U.S. data-centre campuses. The company will cover full electricity and grid infrastructure costs, disclose environmental impacts, and avoid NDAs with public officials. OpenAI also pledged to develop water plans, publish construction and noise studies, and work with unions for local employment opportunities. These measures aim to ensure greater accountability to local communities hosting its AI computing facilities.
