This episode of The Beginner’s Guide to AI looks at a risk many founders, marketers, executives, and small businesses are not taking seriously enough: what happens when your favourite AI model is suddenly unavailable? Dietmar Fischer explores the growing problem of AI model dependency, LLM vendor lock-in, provider outages, government intervention, and the hidden fragility inside many AI workflows. The starting point is simple but uncomfortable: if your business process depends on one model, one provider, one account, or one cloud infrastructure layer, then your AI strategy may be far more fragile than you think.

In many real business cases, the context, the data, the workflow, and the ability to switch between models matter more than raw benchmark performance. That opens the door to multi-model AI strategies, model-agnostic tools, independent AI interfaces, backups, open standards, and practical contingency planning.
