Off the back of its globe-spanning, near-trillion-dollar infrastructure project announcements, OpenAI is now calling on the US government to invest more heavily in power generation, according to CNBC. Describing electricity as a "strategic asset," as much as a public utility, OpenAI believes the US needs to build up to 100 gigawatts of additional power-generating capacity per year in order to power the AI race it's now entered in with China.
"There’s a need for urgent action to prevent the People’s Republic of China from pulling ahead in electricity generation," OpenAI warned in its blog post entitled, "Seizing the AI opportunity."
