Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei met with Australian PM Albanese and Science Minister Ayres, signed an agreement to abide by local laws for 'strong social licence,' and said a tax on AI profits is 'inevitable.' He told the 150-person Futures Forum he has 'no plans' to fight Australia's copyright protections, stating 'rights holders have legitimate claims.' Anthropic is exploring Australian data centers and planning a Sydney office — this is a textbook international expansion playbook for an AI company navigating regulation.
