According to ANI reporting in the Economic Times, US Under Secretary of Economic Affairs Jacob Helberg said the United States and India are engaged in "very sensitive national security" discussions over rollout of Anthropic's Fable model. Helberg described the talks as aiming for a "gradual, measured approach" to ensure safety for the United States, India, and other "trusted partners," the report says. The discussions include concerns about protecting critical infrastructure such as power grids, and India has raised worries about potential abrupt cutoffs in AI access and sought assurances on reliable technology supply from trusted partners, ANI reports. Moneycontrol and the Times of India offer similar characterizations of the talks as sensitive national security matters between the two governments.
