Summary
A one-page memo obtained by The Current shows OpenAI used a private May 20 meeting to brief Gov. Brian Kemp on its Georgia activity, site interest, jobs and investment commitments, strategy and timeline.
Georgia Power joined the session, with attendees including one vice president, two senior vice presidents and former Georgia Ports Authority leader Jamie McCurry, suggesting infrastructure and site-development issues were part of the discussion.
Few details beyond the memo have surfaced: Georgia Power said it could not discuss specific projects or potential customer agreements, OpenAI declined to discuss private meetings, and Kemp's office said it does not comment on private discussions.
The meeting comes as Georgia expands its AI push through a state Office of Artificial Intelligence and 500 ChatGPT enterprise licenses, while OpenAI's possible data-center footprint in the state remains unclear.
