World leaders want American AI. They just don’t want America to be able to turn it off.

World leaders, including French President Macron and Indian PM Modi, have expressed concerns at the G7 summit about the potential for the US to cut off access to American artificial intelligence. This fear was recently heightened by the Anthropic blackout, which demonstrated the possibility of such an event occurring. Leaders are eager to utilize American AI, but they want to ensure that they have control over its use and are not dependent on the US for access. The US's ability to potentially shut off access to its AI has raised alarms about the risks of relying on American technology.
