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

French President Macron and Indian PM Modi warned at the G7 that the U.S. could abruptly restrict access to American AI, highlighting sovereign risk around dependence on U.S. model providers. The reported Anthropic blackout made that risk feel immediate, reinforcing concerns about platform access, export control leverage, and AI infrastructure concentration. The takeaway is negative for international AI adoption and potentially supportive of non-U.S. AI alternatives.
