OpenAI looks to Canada for data centres after pausing Stargate UK; here's why

ChatGPT maker OpenAI may be looking at Canada for data centre partnerships. This comes after putting its Stargate UK project on hold earlier this year. According to a report by Bloomberg, George Osborne, OpenAI’s managing director and head of OpenAI for Countries said that the company is exploring Canada because of the availability of energy and land.Speaking at Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s investment summit in Toronto, Osbourne also praised the government’s approach to artificial intelligence (AI) adoption. He described Carney’s strategy as “one of the clearer plans for AI adoption of a western government“ and called his medium and long-term plan “very impressive“. The move comes as OpenAI continues looking for locations where large AI infrastructure projects can be built and operated.His comments came during Carney’s investment summit, held in Toronto this week.
