OpenAI's reported carbon emissions

OpenAI has not publicly disclosed any carbon emissions data for the most recent year, nor does it have specific reduction targets or commitments outlined in its climate initiatives. As of now, there are no emissions figures available, and the organisation does not inherit emissions data from any parent company or corporate family. Consequently, OpenAI's current climate commitments and reduction initiatives remain unspecified. The absence of data highlights a potential area for improvement in transparency regarding environmental impact and sustainability efforts.
