OpenAI floats federal support for AI infrastructure

November 18, 2025, Opinion: "Sarah Friar, chief financial officer of OpenAI, recently floated the idea of government support for the vast amounts of capital necessary to build the United States’ AI computing infrastructure. Her original suggestion of a government guarantee “that allows the financing to happen,” was quickly attacked online and subsequently clarified to, “American strength in technology will come from building real industrial capacity which requires the private sector and government playing their part.”"
