# OpenAI Rebrands Data Centers as Compute Campuses

November 3, 2026 at 04:29 PM

> OpenAI adopts new terminology to reflect the massive scale of AI infrastructure amid shifting public sentiment and federal policy changes.

**OpenAI** has officially rebranded its data centers as compute campuses, a spokesperson confirmed to **Business Insider**. The company stated this new terminology better reflects the massive scale and specific role of infrastructure built for artificial intelligence.

These facilities represent long-term investments in computing, energy, and skilled labor. The shift comes as President **Trump** supports new facilities, suggesting developers make financial deals with locals, such as a recent ten thousand dollar grant in **Pennsylvania**.

Public sentiment remains complex, as a 2026 survey showed more Americans prefer living near nuclear plants than data centers. Meanwhile, the administration has officially renamed AI to superintelligence, prompting **Elon Musk** to rename SpaceXAI to SpaceXSI.
