OpenAI CFO: Will Continue to Advance U.S. Data Center Expansion Plan
English text is being prepared.
OpenAI Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar said that OpenAI will continue to advance its U.S. data center expansion plan, despite concerns that the Democratic midterm elections have raised about stricter scrutiny of AI infrastructure. U.S. stock markets lost about $2.5 trillion on Thursday as a result, with investors weighing the impact on the chip, cloud, and networking sectors. Google said the same day that it will invest $17 billion to build its first data center in Wyoming.

OpenAI首席财务官萨拉·弗莱尔(Sarah Friar)周五表示，尽管本周民主党中期选举引发了对AI基础设施进行更严格审查的担忧，但公司将继续推进其美国数据中心扩张计划。由于担心民主党横扫中期选举可能会减缓对AI繁荣至关重要的设施的建设，周四美国股市蒸发了约2.5万亿美元，投资者正在权衡芯片、云和网络行业的影响，这些行业一直是支出狂潮的最大受益者。不过，有迹象表明，尽管遭到越来越多的反对，科技巨头仍致力于数据中心的扩张计划。谷歌周四表示，将投资170亿美元在怀俄明州建立其首个数据中心。（第一财经记者 樊志菁）
