OpenAI is stepping back from NDAs for data center projects
Following this week's midterms where voters resoundingly voiced their opposition to data center expansion, OpenAI today announced new commitments to communities where it is working on data center projects, including that it won't use non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) with public officials.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets present OpenAI’s new data center policy as a pledge to give local communities more say, with CNBC and the New York Times emphasizing consultation and collaboration. CNBC is the only one to mention halting NDAs, publishing construction plans and protecting ratepayers, while Engadget alone says OpenAI claims the pledges were already in the works before the election. The New York Times keeps the framing broad and general.
