 The Seattle Times reports Microsoft-backed artificial intelligence power player OpenAI is on the hunt for an office in Bellevue with room to grow, a move that may highlight the region's role in the AI boom. The company behind ChatGPT, an AI-powered chatbot, is searching for as much as 40,000 square feet of office space with the potential to more than double that footprint. OpenAI has not confirmed or denied the news.
