OpenAI направила губернатору Техаса письмо об ответственной AI-инфраструктуре

OpenAI sent Texas Governor Greg Abbott an official letter outlining the company's position on the responsible development of AI infrastructure in the state. In the document, published on the OpenAI website, the company expresses support for reliable and transparent growth that should benefit the residents of Texas.

What OpenAI Is Telling the Governor

The company outlined its commitments to state authorities: reliability, transparency, and a focus on local interests. In the official letter, OpenAI does not provide detailed technical or financial commitments, but clearly states its support for AI infrastructure development that aligns with the interests of Texas.

"We support reliable and transparent growth that will benefit the residents of

Texas," reads OpenAI's official letter to Governor Greg Abbott.

Why Texas Became the Stage for AI Dialogue

Texas is one of the key US states for AI infrastructure deployment: data centers, low business taxes, and business-friendly corporate legislation have traditionally attracted technology companies here. In January 2025, OpenAI joined the Stargate consortium — an initiative to build AI infrastructure in the US worth up to $500 billion, together with SoftBank and Oracle; Texas is listed among the project's key locations.

Governor Greg Abbott has consistently positioned the state as open to technology investments. Against the backdrop of AI regulation discussions — in 2025–2026, dozens of US states were considering corresponding legislation — direct dialogue between AI companies and regional authorities is becoming a strategic tool.

Why OpenAI Is Publicly Writing to Governors

OpenAI is consistently expanding its presence in political dialogue: the company publishes appeals to regulators, participates in Congressional hearings, and engages with authorities in individual states. Such letters serve a dual function: they shape the company's public position and lay the groundwork for specific agreements with regional authorities before restrictive regulations are adopted.

The letter to the Texas governor fits into this strategy: OpenAI is signaling that it is ready to work collaboratively with state authorities rather than enter into legal conflicts with them.

What This Means

OpenAI's public letter to Texas Governor Greg Abbott is a signal that the largest AI companies are moving toward systematic dialogue with regional authorities. Texas, as one of the most active states in attracting technology investments, is becoming an important venue for shaping the rules of the game in AI infrastructure in the US.
