OpenAI managing director says Canada an “obvious place” for data centre development

OpenAI managing director George Osborne, at the ALL IN conference in Montreal, called Canada an 'obvious place' for the company's data centre, citing a stable jurisdiction and energy. No decision has been made yet; OpenAI previously signed Canada's framework agreement on data centre development.

• Osborne has headed OpenAI for Countries since late 2025
• OpenAI signed Canada's non-binding data centre framework
• Bell plans to quadruple data centre capacity in Saskatchewan at ~$50 billion
