Let us now look at Anthropic. Last week, it launched its new AI model, Claude Fable 5. Almost as soon as it was launched, the US Government intervened and shut it down for foreign nationals both inside and outside the country. Let me put that more clearly: Anthropic closed access to its tools under the direction of the US Government. This is a wake-up call. Our reliance on the technology that fuels our economy and underpins our services shows that we desperately need a sovereign digital strategy. Fable 5 may have been a feature for only about a day, but imagine if it had been powering processes and public services when it was suddenly cut off by the US Government.
