The AI off switch: How Anthropic’s export controls sparked a global AI sovereignty scramble

Anthropic export controls turned an abstract policy fear into a live one last week: as of June 13, 2026, one US government directive took the company’s two most powerful AI models offline for users everywhere, including, briefly, Anthropic’s own foreign-born employees, and set off alarm bells across Europe and Canada about who really controls the

Anthropic’s refusal to arm AI is exactly why the UK wants it

The Anthropic UK expansion story is less about diplomatic courtship and more about what happens when a government punishes a company for having principles. In late February, US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth gave Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei a stark ultimatum: remove guardrails preventing Claude from being used for fully autonomous weapons and domestic mass surveillance,

How Amul is using AI dairy farming to put 36 million farmers first

Amul, the world’s largest dairy cooperative, has launched
