OpenAI's bold plan asks US to reshape tech future with nuclear power
OpenAI proposed a game-changing plan for US government support of artificial intelligence development. The proposal includes special zones for AI projects and mini nuclear reactors for data centers

Chris Lehane‚ OpenAIʼs head of global-affairs presented a ground-breaking proposal at a Washington think-tank gathering. The tech-focused plan asks for major US backing of AI development projects
The proposal outlines several key points that could change how AI grows in North America: special economic-zones with less rules would help new AI work‚ small-scale nuclear power stations (supported by US Navy) would run data-centers‚ and a cross-border agreement would let US friends work together
- Lower regulations in specific areas
- Mini nuclear reactors for computing power
- North American team-up with allies
The presentation shows how tech companies want to work with government power - its a mix of private business and public support that could make AI grow faster. The plan comes as decision-makers look at ways to keep up with fast-moving AI tech: these ideas might shape how the field moves forward
