Treasury officials prepared a meeting brief for the Treasurer's September 2025 meeting with OpenAI leadership. The brief outlined potential discussion points including Treasury's Economic Reform Roundtable (ERR) announcements on AI priorities, such as developing an APS AI plan and accelerating work on a national AI capability plan with national interest principles for data centres. OpenAI had previously raised concerns about compute and data centre infrastructure, planning and approvals processes in June 2025 meetings. The company recommended the Government clarify its digital infrastructure intentions, signal support for workforce upskilling in priority sectors, and communicate priority AI use cases. Treasury noted OpenAI's published economic blueprint addressing themes including workforce development, public service modernisation, AI infrastructure investment, and positioning Australia as a regional AI hub in the Indo-Pacific. The meeting brief document was prepared in early September 2025 ahead of the scheduled 18 September meeting.
