Anthropic ban: Sarvam AI's Pratyush Kumar warns against reliance on foreign models

A US ban on advanced AI models has highlighted the vulnerability of foreign reliance, according to Sarvam AI's Pratyush Kumar. He urged Indian firms to embrace sovereign AI, building systems domestically. For AI researchers and engineers, he said the ban sets a precedent in which talent will increasingly be seen as aligned to national interests rather than the companies.
