OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has once again addressed the ongoing debate over the company seeking US government-backed loan guarantees for its AI infrastructure. In a new post on X, Altman clarified that OpenAI does not want or need such guarantees and that recent comments have been misunderstood. Altman said that while OpenAI supports U.S. reindustrialization and domestic supply chain efforts, that should not be confused with asking for financial guarantees from the government.
“The government has played a role in critical infrastructure builds. Our public submission (posted on our blog) shares our thinking and suggests ideas for how the U.S. government can support domestic supply chain/manufacturing,” Altman wrote.
