OpenAI is stepping back from NDAs for data center projects.

OpenAI 正在减少在数据中心项目中使用保密协议（NDA）。

The ChatGPT maker won’t use NDAs with public officials as part of its new data center community commitments.

作为其新的数据中心社区承诺的一部分，这家 ChatGPT 的制造商将不再与政府官员签署保密协议。

Following this week’s midterms where voters resoundingly voiced their opposition to data center expansion, OpenAI today announced new commitments to communities where it is working on data center projects, including that it won’t use non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) with public officials.

在本周的中期选举中，选民们强烈表达了对数据中心扩张的反对。随后，OpenAI 今日宣布了针对其数据中心项目所在社区的新承诺，其中包括不再与政府官员使用保密协议。

Many data center projects have come under scrutiny for relying on NDAs to hide discussions between developers and local officials. However, OpenAI says it is now allowing “only narrow protections covering legitimate security information, trade secrets, or proprietary or competitively sensitive information.”

许多数据中心项目因依赖保密协议来掩盖开发商与当地官员之间的讨论而受到审查。然而，OpenAI 表示，现在仅允许“针对合法安全信息、商业机密或专有及竞争敏感信息的狭义保护”。

In October, Amazon announced it would no longer use NDAs with government agencies it works with on data center projects.

今年 10 月，亚马逊宣布将不再与其在数据中心项目合作的政府机构使用保密协议。

OpenAI’s additional commitments include paying “the full cost” of electricity it uses and the “infrastructure needed to serve us.” It will make opportunities for local communities by publishing the jobs it expects to create and by reporting on hiring.

OpenAI 的其他承诺包括支付其所用电力的“全部成本”以及“为我们提供服务所需的基础设施”费用。该公司将通过发布预期创造的就业岗位和报告招聘情况，为当地社区创造机会。

And every future “compute campus” (its rebranding phrase for data centers) the company owns and operates will have a “local compact” that includes the commitments and will reflect “local priorities,” OpenAI says.

OpenAI 表示，公司未来拥有和运营的每一个“计算园区”（这是其对数据中心的重新命名）都将拥有一份“地方契约”，其中包含上述承诺，并将反映“当地优先事项”。
