OpenAI has launched a new initiative called ‘OpenAI for Countries’ to bolster AI capabilities in various sectors across ten nations under its Stargate project. This program aims to develop robust local AI infrastructure rooted in democratic principles, with initiatives like data center development and customized ChatGPT solutions. 10 countries are participating in this effort, designed to foster sovereign AI capabilities within public sector roles such as healthcare and education. OpenAI is collaborating directly with governments for these projects, providing access to their AI tools and resources, including data centers and tailored ChatGPT applications. The initiative represents a strategic move towards greater control of AI resources and aligns with a growing trend towards technological sovereignty.
