OpenAI launches a data residency program in Asia

OpenAI has launched a new data residency program in Asia, allowing companies based there to store their AI products' data securely in countries like Japan, India, Singapore, and South Korea, ensuring compliance with local data sovereignty laws. This initiative follows a similar program in Europe earlier this year. OpenAI is using this move to expand its global reach, as part of its broader strategy to accelerate international expansion, including through the "OpenAI for Countries" initiative aimed at building infrastructure for international clients.
