OpenAI is embarking on a transformative journey with OpenAI for Countries, a cornerstone of the Stargate project launched alongside Oracle, SoftBank, and the U.S. government. This initiative is designed to empower nations by providing access to advanced AI infrastructure grounded in democratic values, fostering innovation, and driving economic growth.

Meeting a Global Need

The Stargate project, which broke ground with its first supercomputing campus in Abilene, Texas, has sparked international interest. Countries worldwide are seeking to replicate this model, recognizing that advanced AI infrastructure is critical for economic growth and national development. These nations are not just looking for technology, they want systems that reflect principles like individual freedom, fair competition, and protection against centralized control.

OpenAI for Countries answers this call by offering partnerships that prioritize sovereignty, local innovation, and democratic ideals. By working closely with the U.S. government, OpenAI aims to provide a clear alternative to authoritarian AI models, fostering environments where technology amplifies human potential and shared prosperity.

A Framework for Collaboration

Through OpenAI for Countries, OpenAI provides a robust partnership model tailored to each nation’s needs:

1. Secure Data Centers: OpenAI will support the development of in-country data centers to ensure data sovereignty, enable compliance, and spark new industries. These facilities allow nations to customize AI solutions for their unique contexts.
2. Localized AI Tools: By offering customized versions of ChatGPT, OpenAI will enhance healthcare, education, and public services. These tools will be adapted to each country’s language, culture, and priorities, aligning with global standards.
3. Advanced Safety Measures: As AI capabilities grow, OpenAI will strengthen security protocols, including physical and data protections. The initiative emphasizes respect for democratic processes and human rights, welcoming global collaboration to shape AI’s future.
4. Startup Ecosystems: Partnering with local and OpenAI capital, countries will establish funds to support AI-driven startups, creating jobs, fostering innovation, and building vibrant economic ecosystems.
5. Global Stargate Network: Partner nations will contribute to expanding the Stargate project, reinforcing U.S.-led AI leadership and creating a worldwide network of democratic AI infrastructure.

OpenAI aims to initiate 10 country or regional partnerships in the first phase, with plans for further expansion. This initiative is a commitment to building a global ecosystem where technology empowers individuals, strengthens economies, and upholds shared values.

Join the Journey

OpenAI welcomes nations to engage through their U.S. representatives or OpenAI’s global offices. Together, we can create a future where AI drives progress while respecting the principles that unite us.
