European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated that it is in the mutual interest of the United States and the European Union for the EU to utilize the best artificial intelligence models. This statement was made at a lunch with G7 leaders and AI and technology company chiefs.

AI Model Safety

Von der Leyen praised US moves to ensure artificial intelligence companies act responsibly when introducing powerful new models. She compared the need for testing AI models to the rigorous testing of planes before they are allowed to fly, emphasizing the importance of safety in both aviation and AI.

Von der Leyen’s comments come after Anthropic disabled its most advanced AI models for all users following a US government order to suspend access to the models for foreign nationals. Anthropic’s Mythos model, designed to find flaws in computer code to help bolster defenses against cyberattacks, is seen by cybersecurity experts as capable of significantly enhancing attacks on banks’ technology systems.
