A state cannot blacklist domestic AI champions without crippling its own national security systems.
Unilateral export bans and contract terminations targeting advanced AI labs repeatedly backfire by severing access to the very models deeply embedded in critical national security and cyberdefense channels.
The same conclusion keeps arriving from across the workspace's research — 1 topics independently instantiate this theme. Filter the evidence by where it came from:
The U.S. government was forced to lift export restrictions on Anthropic's models due to domestic backlash and the necessity of restoring access to its cybersecurity model, Mythos, for national defense.
Even during an intense contractual dispute, the administration was forced to exempt Anthropic's model from termination because of its deep integration into critical national security infrastructure.
