[OpenAI: Open to Training Models in Australia] DeepTech TechFlow reports that on September 14, according to Nikkei News, U.S. artificial intelligence giant OpenAI is open to training its models in Australia. A senior executive stated that negotiations surrounding issues like copyright protection are ongoing. Australia is seeking to play a larger role in AI development, not just hosting data centers, and aims to position itself as a standard-setter in infrastructure development and application promotion. Prime Minister Albanese announced in July plans to legislate 'national standards,' stating that these rules will seek to ensure companies using data from Australian creators respect copyright protections. OpenAI's Vice President of Global Policy, Ann O'Leary, expressed at an event hosted by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute in Canberra that the company supports the government's approach and is interested in training models in Australia.
