OpenAI will keep investing in AI data centers despite election results, CFO tells CNBC

Summary

OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar said on Friday that the company will keep investing in AI infrastructure despite voters opposing data centers in the midterm elections. Out of 41 local ballot measures across 10 states, voters backed restrictions or rejected pro-development measures in all but one, according to Ballotpedia and CNBC. Friar said she does not think the results dramatically changed anything for OpenAI.
