US Restricts Access to Anthropic AI Models, Indian Leaders Urge AI Self-Reliance
Following the US government's export control directive, AI company Anthropic suspended access to its advanced models Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all foreign nationals, citing national security concerns. Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu described this as a significant moment underscoring technology's role in sovereignty and security, urging India to develop its own AI capabilities and adopt smaller, open-source models. Investor Mohandas Pai also called for a national AI mission to enhance India's technological self-reliance amid shifting global dynamics.
