In a blog post, the San Francisco-based AI firm stated that representatives from multiple countries reached out to OpenAI to seek assistance in building AI infrastructure. Calling this infrastructure the “backbone of future economic growth and national development,” the company said it is willing to help these countries to spread “democratic AI.”

Explaining its democratic principle, OpenAI said it wants people to be able to choose how they work with and direct AI. It also wants to prevent governments' use of AI to amass control and a free market that fosters competition. “All these things contribute to a broad distribution of the benefits of AI, discourage the concentration of power, and help advance our mission,” the company added.

With OpenAI for Countries, the AI firm has prepared a five-step plan to collaborate with governments of other countries to develop AI infrastructure. The first step includes partnering with interested countries to help build in-country data centre capacity. These will be secured to protect the sovereignty of the country. The AI firm said that the data centres will build new local industries and make it easier to customise AI in a private and compliant way.

The AI firm will also provide customised ChatGPT to the citizens. This chatbot will focus on the needs of a particular country and will be natively localised in their language and culture. The third step includes collaborating with the governments on the future direction of the company's AI models.

“As our models become more powerful, we will continue to make investments in the processes and controls, including the data centre and physical security needed to deploy, operate and protect them,” OpenAI said.
