After the US government barred non-US citizens from accessing Anthropic's new Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models, the European Commission is weighing the fallout. European experts call it a wake-up call - but disagree on what to do next.
The European Commission says it's currently assessing the practical impact of the US export control order that forced Anthropic to shut down its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models worldwide.
Thomas Regnier, the Commission's spokesperson for technological sovereignty, told Euronews that emergency measures must "not be discriminatory against partners." He called it a "shared challenge, not one confined to a single jurisdiction or company." The development is "a further illustration of why Europe needs to strengthen its technological sovereignty," he added, according to Reuters.
Days earlier, Anthropic had pulled its most advanced models worldwide following a US government order tied to national security concerns. Talks to restore access are ongoing. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei will join the heads of other leading AI companies at a working dinner with G7 leaders on Wednesday.
