Chris Lehane, the Head of Global Affairs at OpenAI, revealed that the company is set to acquire data center capacity within Canada. This move is aimed at bolstering the development of sovereign artificial intelligence capabilities. Earlier, OpenAI has already unveiled a series of initiatives focused on AI infrastructure development or the acquisition of computing power in nations like Germany and Norway. At present, OpenAI is actively engaging in talks with Canadian government representatives, as well as stakeholders from both the public and private sectors. The objective is to delve into comparable cooperation frameworks and provide robust support for the growth of the local AI ecosystem.
