Introducing OpenAI
for Countries
A new initiative
to support countries around the world that want to build on democratic AI
rails.
Our Stargate
project, an unprecedented investment in America’s AI infrastructure
announced in January with President Trump and our partners Oracle and SoftBank,
is now underway with our first supercomputing campus in Abilene, Texas, and
more sites to come.
We’ve heard from
many countries asking for help in building out similar AI infrastructure—that
they want their own Stargates and similar projects. It’s clear to everyone now
that this kind of infrastructure is going to be the backbone of future economic
growth and national development. Technological innovation has always driven
growth by helping people do more than they otherwise could—AI will scale human
ingenuity itself and drive more prosperity by scaling our freedoms to learn,
think, create and produce all at once.
We want to help
these countries, and in the process, spread democratic AI, which means the
development, use and deployment of AI that protects and incorporates
long-standing democratic principles. Examples of this include the freedom for
people to choose how they work with and direct AI, the prevention of government
use of AI to amass control, and a free market that ensures free competition.
All these things contribute to broad distribution of the benefits of AI,
discourage the concentration of power, and help advance our mission. Likewise,
we believe that partnering closely with the US government is the best way to
advance democratic AI.
Today, we’re
introducing OpenAI for Countries, a new initiative within the Stargate project.
This is a moment when we need to act to support countries around the world that
would prefer to build on democratic AI rails, and provide a clear alternative
to authoritarian versions of AI that would deploy it to consolidate power.
In response to
these interested governments, OpenAI is offering a new kind of partnership for
the Intelligence Age. Through formalized infrastructure collaborations, and in
coordination with the US government, OpenAI will:
- Partner with countries to help build
in-country data center capacity. These secure data centers will help
support the sovereignty of a country’s data, build new local industries,
and make it easy to customize AI and leverage their data in a private and
compliant way.
- Provide customized ChatGPT to citizens. This
will help deliver improved healthcare and education, more efficient public
services, and more. This will be AI of, by, and for the needs of each
particular country, localized in their language and for their culture and
respecting future global standards.
- Continue evolving security and safety controls
for AI models. As our models become more powerful, we will continue to make
investments in the processes and controls, including the data center and
physical security needed to deploy, operate and protect them. As part of
AI safety, it is critical to respect democratic processes and human
rights; we are excited to collaborate on future directions for global
democratic input to shape AI.
- Together, raise and deploy a national start-up
fund. With local as well as OpenAI capital, together we can seed healthy
national AI ecosystems so the new infrastructure is creating new jobs, new
companies, new revenue, and new communities for each country while also
supporting existing public- and private-sector needs.
- Partner countries also would invest in
expanding the global Stargate Project—and thus in continued
US-led AI leadership and a global, growing network effect for democratic
AI.
As OpenAI moves
forward with OpenAI for Countries, our goal is to pursue 10 projects with
individual countries or regions as the first phase of this initiative, and
expand from there.
We look forward to
engaging with interested countries through their representatives in the US and
through our executives based in our offices around the world.
What is the
Stargate AI project?
The Stargate Project, as the venture is named, is a partnership
between four notable companies: OpenAI, SoftBank, Oracle and MGX. Its goal is
to construct sites throughout the U.S. to develop, power, deploy and maintain
AI technology.
What will the
Stargate Project do?
The Stargate project is a strategic collaboration between industry
giants, aiming to build the next generation of AI infrastructure. This
ambitious initiative will involve building massive data centers, expanding
computing power, and enhancing AI capabilities at an unprecedented scale.
New “OpenAI for
Countries” program reads less like a product launch and more like a handshake
with the future – sovereign AI infrastructure, tailored ChatGPT versions for
citizens, and a clear nudge toward AI that serves people, not power structures.
What’s interesting? They’re offering help with local data centers. Not just for
privacy, but to actually customize AI to the language, services, and values of
each country. 🇱🇻🇺🇦🇩🇰 It’s rare that a
big-tech move makes me think, “Wait, is this what ethical infrastructure might
look like?” Of course, there’s plenty to critique and plenty we still don’t
know. But the intent is crystal: “AI should strengthen democratic institutions,
not replace them.”
