Governance walls shouldn't hold back the future of AI

In a recent move echoing Cold Warera tactics, the United States government has demanded that artificial intelligence company Anthropic suspend access to its advanced models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, for all foreign nationals, citing national security concerns.

Faced with the impracticality of verifying users' nationality, identity and purposes, Anthropic took the drastic step of taking these models offline globally.

This incident highlights Washington's tightening grip on frontier AI technologies. It also underscores that attempting to restrict AI technology with outdated export-control measures is both naive and futile.
