UK AI Minister Hits Out at OpenAI for Stargate Project Pause

Britain’s AI minister dinged OpenAI for halting a major data center project in the UK and blaming the decision on the country’s energy costs and regulation.

“Since that time of commitment, nothing has changed in the energy-price experience with that site,” said Kanishka Narayan, UK minister for AI and online safety, at a Bloomberg event in London on Thursday. “Nothing has changed in the regulatory experience.”
