Why AI Model Exports Are the New National Security Flashpoint

Episode notes

Lucas and Luna explore how the White House's claim that Moonshot AI distilled Anthropic's Fable model has escalated into a full-blown national security confrontation, with the Treasury threatening sanctions. They break down why model exports - not just chips - are now the frontier of AI regulation, and what a $40 million ServiceNow acquisition in India tells us about the geopolitics of AI deployment. Drawing on current headlines and stock moves, they ask: when does open sourcing cross the line into sanctioned technology transfer? #AIExports #NationalSecurity #MoonshotAI #Anthropic #Fable #ModelDistillation #TreasurySanctions #ServiceNow #Geopolitics #AIGovernance #ExportControls #China #India #TechCrunch #FexingoBusiness #TechnologyPodcast #BusinessPodcast #Fexingo Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
