Australia's Department of Industry shared a draft of its data centre expectations with Anthropic before the guidelines were published on March 23, then signed a memorandum of understanding with Anthropic on April 1 requiring the company to align with those same rules. Department briefing material from March 18 states the department "consulted Anthropic on the development of the expectations" and that advice could change "pending the outcome of today's meeting with Anthropic", which Anthropic disputes as influence. Anthropic has since signed a lease on the first stage of a proposed $32 billion data centre campus at Western Downs, Queensland, drawing up to 2.16 gigawatts at peak, a project now subject to Foreign Investment Review Board approval under the policy it saw in draft.
