Europe's AI firms reject US calls to slow model development
Global Banking & Finance Review
European AI firms led by Mistral publicly rejected calls from US rivals to slow advances in AI model capabilities and to seek an antitrust waiver for joint safety work. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei urged a coordinated pause and embedded evaluators, and OpenAI and xAI leaders have also warned about powerful systems. European startups and officials counter that safety arguments could be used to consolidate market power, noting Europe currently relies heavily on OpenAI, Anthropic and Microsoft models. The dispute raises concerns over regulatory capture and adds urgency to EU efforts to close a technological gap.
