OpenAI is unveiling a blueprint for artificial intelligence infrastructure that outlines its vision for AI development in the U. S. , aiming to enhance productivity and drive advanced technology advancements. This blueprint, seen by FedScoop and scheduled for a presentation in Washington on Wednesday, aligns with the Biden administration's ongoing efforts to bolster government backing for data centers, AI, and semiconductors. Meanwhile, as the government shapes its approach to AI, companies like OpenAI are pushing for policies that facilitate infrastructure and energy projects beneficial to them. According to the blueprint, "AI presents a significant opportunity to reindustrialize the U. S. , fostering broad economic growth to revitalize the American Dream. " It also emphasizes a national security aspect, advocating for an AI shaped by democratic values to counter a rising China by maximizing benefits for individuals. OpenAI envisions a proactive government role in developing AI technology, especially regarding infrastructure. The blueprint lists five policy priorities, including state and federal AI economic zones centered on constructing energy systems to power AI. The document proposes a National Transmission Highway Act addressing transmission, fiber, and natural gas.

It states, "New authority and funding are needed to unlock the planning, permitting, and payment processes—referred to as the 'Three Pʼs'—which may be the biggest hurdles to expanding energy resources for AI development in the U. S. " The policy vision also proposes a North American Compact for Artificial Intelligence to create an economic bloc capable of competing with China. It points to the Navy’s nuclear resources as potential drivers for reindustrialization. Additionally, OpenAI urges the government to ready the workforce for AI-related jobs, such as roles in data center management and operations.
