OpenAI will keep investing in AI data centers despite election results, CFO says
Sarah Friar tells CNBC OpenAI will keep investing to meet customer demand and build trust with communities if the midterms mean more focus on data centers, after voters backed restrictions or rejected pro-development measures in all but one of 41 local ballot measures.
OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar said the company will continue investing in AI infrastructure to meet customer demand despite voter opposition to data centers in the midterms. She said she did not think the results had dramatically changed anything for the company and that demand for AI is real.
