J.D. Vance:
“I have two important people in my life — an Indian and a Pakistani. The Indian is my wife, and the Pakistani is Field Marshal Asim Munir.”
Time for Sovereign AI. Pakistan cannot afford to wait.
In a first, the U.S. government has ordered Anthropic to deny the entire world access to its two most powerful new AI models: Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5. Whatever the official reason, the message is clear: America doesn’t want the rest of the world using its most advanced AI models. AI is the new weapon.
This reminds me of Huawei’s founder Ren Zhengfei, who said in the 1980s: a country without its own technology is like a country without an army.
AI is creating a new have/have-not world, where the entire world depends on just two countries: the U.S. and China.
As a nation, we have missed too many trains like technology revolution and internet boom etc. We cannot afford to miss this one.
Western and Chinese AI models don’t properly understand our context: languages, history, culture etc. We may not be able to build the world’s most powerful AI. But we can build sovereign AI, trained on Pakistani data, Pakistani context, Pakistani knowledge.
With this, our data stays inside Pakistan. Our services cannot be switched off by a foreign government. What happened on Friday can never happen to us again.
This train is still at the station. But not for long. Don’t miss it.
