Viewing enriched Twitter post
When the US restricted foreign access to some of Anthropic’s most advanced models last week, it underscored a new reality: AI is now a geopolitical issue. In his latest piece for Project Syndicate, Sakana AI’s Co-Founder Ren Ito argues that AI sovereignty is not about building a national ChatGPT. It is about maintaining access to frontier AI and preserving the freedom to choose among multiple models. https://t.co/Um1VnnOkPr
