• •President Macron and Prime Minister Modi raised concerns at the G7 regarding U.S. control of AI access.
• •A recent, temporary service outage at Anthropic has highlighted the potential for centralized AI service disruptions.
• •The extent of existing contingency plans for non-U.S. nations remains unclear and publicly unverified.

French President Emmanuel Macron and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi reportedly urged global counterparts at the G7 to address risks surrounding American control of artificial intelligence. The request follows recent service instability at Anthropic, which caused temporary blackouts for users globally, according to reporting from TechCrunch. While U.S. developers currently lead in foundational models, the prospect of an abrupt service termination or government-led shutdown has created friction with international stakeholders. Whether these leaders will secure formal guarantees or state-funded alternatives remains uncertain as AI becomes a central pillar of national infrastructure.
