OpenAI's CFO clarified the "government bailout" statement, saying that the company has not sought guarantees for infrastructure investments.

Sarah Friar clarified her earlier comments in a LinkedIn post today, stating that OpenAI did not seek a "backstop" from the US government for its infrastructure investments. She explained that her use of the term "backstop" caused a misunderstanding, and her actual intention was to emphasize that US industrial and technological capabilities need to be driven jointly by the government and the private sector.
