OpenAI doesn’t want to call them “data centers<\/a>” anymore.<\/p>\n

Instead, the ChatGPT maker plans to propose a new, more chic name for the behemoth factories that power your chatbot queries.<\/p>\n

That new name is “compute campuses,” an OpenAI spokesperson confirmed to Business Insider on Sunday.<\/p>\n

“Compute campuses better describes the scale and role of the infrastructure we’re building for AI,” the spokesperson said. “These are long-term investments in computing, energy infrastructure and skilled work.”<\/p>\n

Though much has been said about the less-than-stellar reputations of AI data centers (a recent Pew Research poll found that 54% of Americans say AI data centers are bad for the environment), efforts to ameliorate that view have mostly failed. Data centers are now a major issue for voters<\/a> in the midterms.<\/p>\n

While major data center builders<\/a> like Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft have pledged millions of dollars to the communities and schools surrounding their centers, OpenAI is betting that a complete rebrand will also help turn around public opinion.<\/p>\n

“We want the communities hosting that infrastructure to help shape it and share in the opportunities it creates,” the OpenAI spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

Time will tell, however, if the “compute campus” lingo catches on.<\/p>\n

Axios earlier reported that OpenAI was also preparing for a blue wave in Tuesday’s midterm elections, which could result in a more regulatory-minded government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OpenAI doesn’t want to call them “data centers” anymore.
