The US government’s directive to suspend access to Anthropic’s Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models has triggered a strong push for artificial intelligence self-reliance within India Inc, with technology leaders, investors and developers calling it a turning point for global access to critical AI infrastructure.
Sridhar Vembu, founder of Zoho Corp, said the development underscored the centrality of technology to national power. “Technology is the ultimate weapon. National sovereignty, national security, all of it is now about technology,” he said, adding that “globalisation is dead and Bharat must find her own way ahead.”
