Trump’s Anthropic shutdown just made the case for non-American AI

Anthropic, an American company, was forced to take its newest AI models offline after the White House demanded it block access for all foreign nationals. The sudden shutdown of the Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models was imposed with little warning or explanation, highlighting the US government's significant control over the use of AI. The incident has raised concerns abroad about the US dominance in AI and its ability to restrict access to these technologies. The shutdown has also underscored the need for non-American AI development to reduce dependence on US-controlled technologies.
