Cohere CEO: Renting AI from foreign providers is a national security risk

Aidan Gomez, CEO of Cohere, has warned that relying on foreign providers for critical AI services poses a significant national security risk. He highlighted the recent U.S. government action restricting access to Anthropic's Mythos model as an example of this vulnerability.

He suggests that democracies should collaborate to build shared, independent AI systems, acknowledging that full self-sufficiency in AI infrastructure is challenging for most nations. AI
