OpenAI is seeking a federal backstop for its new investments, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal. The company is looking for assurances from the U.S. government in case its investments in data centers and chips do not yield expected returns.

This request highlights OpenAI"s concerns about the financial risks associated with its expansion efforts in the technology sector. The company aims to secure a safety net that would mitigate potential losses from these significant investments.

As previously reported, the broader implications of such a request may resonate within ongoing discussions about government support for tech companies. Similar situations have arisen in the past, where companies sought federal assistance to navigate financial uncertainties.
