What incentives does OpenAI have to make sure the AI actually works well with Norwegian beyond capturing a (small) Norwegian market? What incentives do they have to take Norwegian values into consideration, or to preserve Norwegian culture into the future? The matter is also a question of national sovereignty, so to simply release the data and nicely ask foreign companies to solve the problem for you, would be a fool's move
It's also a bit funny because Norway definitely has enough money to hire a team of Anthropic's best to go out there and train them a model that does whatever they want. They probably have enough money to fund their own Anthropic competitor.
I highly doubt that hiring people who don't even speak the language would result in a better model for Norwegian. If anything, they could pay Anthropic for some tips and tricks for training. But that does not seem necessary as Deepseek & co detail everything for free
>They probably have enough money to fund their own Anthropic competitor.
Which is bizarre to me Norway doesn't have a booming tech sector with all hat wealth fund acting as the biggest VC.
They instead use their wealth fund to invest in US's tech sector. Baffling.
The point of the fund is to invest outside of Norway so as to avoid the Norwegian economy overheating and increasing inflation
Considering the fact that the US is complaining about Norway putting too much money into the US market, imagine what would happen if all that money was spent in Norway. It would be chaos.

There's only so much you can do with 5 million people. Especially in a field where network effects amd scale matter a lot.

The fund is specifically mandated to not invest inside Norway to avoid making an enormous bubble and sky high inflation.
