datarazimediaMicrosoft just ranked who actually uses AI — and the US isn't on top. The UAE leads at ~70% of adults using AI monthly, Singapore #2 (~63%), then Norway, Ireland and France. The US sits at #21, around 31% — barely above the 18% global average. South Korea's usage jumped 43% in a year; Europe holds 11 of the top 20. America builds the models the world runs on; at home it's patchy — city folk use AI at twice the rate of country towns.
America builds the world's AI — and ranks 21st for actually using it. Microsoft's Q1 2026 report: 31.3% of US working-age adults, the slowest growth of any major economy.
Leaders: UAE 70.1%. Norway, Ireland, France, Spain, the Netherlands all above 40%.
South Korea's AI usage jumped 43.2% in a year — the largest on Earth. 10 of the 15 fastest-growing markets are Asian.
Q1 2026 global: 17.8% use AI. North–South gap: 27.5% vs 15.4%.

The US government's Anthropic models ban was never about an AI jailbreak | TechCrunch
The Trump administration's decision that forced Anthropic to pull its latest cybersecurity models could be reactionary, retaliatory, or both, but the message is clear: The AI industry isn't immune from U.S. government interference.
Anthropic has disabled Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after a US government export control order. The directive arrived June 12, citing national security concerns about a possible jailbreak. Both models launched on June 9 and were shut down for all customers worldwide to ensure compliance. Other Claude models remain online. https://www.marktechpost.com/2026/06/13/anthropic-disables-claude-fable-5-and-mythos-5-after-us-government-order/ #AI #GenAI #GlobalAI
