Nikkei reports OpenAI is open to training AI models in Australia and is in negotiations with authorities over copyright protections. Canberra is seeking a larger role than mere data-centre hosting and aims to set standards for AI infrastructure and application deployment; Prime Minister Albanese in July announced plans to legislate national standards to ensure companies using Australian creators’ data respect copyright. OpenAI global policy VP Ann O'Leary told an event at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute in Canberra the company supports the government’s approach and is interested in onshore model training.
