On September 14, Nikkei reported that U.S. AI giant OpenAI is open to training its models in Australia and is currently in negotiations on issues such as copyright protection. Australia hopes to play a more significant role in AI development, not limited to hosting data centers, but also aiming to become a standard setter for infrastructure construction and application promotion. In July, Prime Minister Albanese announced legislation to establish 'national standards' for AI, ensuring that companies using data from Australian creators respect copyright. Ann O'Leary, OpenAI's Vice President of Global Policy, stated in Canberra that the company supports the Australian government's approach and has shown interest in training models in the country.
