PANews reported on November 6th that OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar clarified her earlier comments in a LinkedIn post, stating that OpenAI has not sought a "backstop" from the US government for its infrastructure investments. She explained that her use of the term "backstop" caused a misunderstanding; her actual intention was to emphasize that US industrial technological capabilities need to be driven jointly by the government and the private sector. She also stated that the US government fully recognizes the importance of AI as a national strategic asset and has demonstrated foresight in its policies.
