Can governments bar an AI model, and products built on it, from public systems on supply-chain grounds?
What it could establish
AI model provenance as a procurement boundary, reaching downstream products built on a model.
What would settle it
Implementation guidance on third-party products, enforcement, vendor challenges, and whether other governments or models follow.
The other reading
A conventional use of existing supply-chain authority, not a change in AI policy.
