🇪🇺 Europe wants Anthropic on its own turf

🇪🇺 Europe wants Anthropic on its own turf Europe is starting to treat frontier AI like critical infrastructure. According to Reuters, Austria is urging the EU to convince Anthropic to establish part of its business inside Europe, with EU laws, customers, capital, and infrastructure to reduce the bloc’s dependence on US-controlled AI. The problem? Moving servers to Europe doesn’t move control. Anthropic is still an American company, and its ownership, model governance, key employees, and training infrastructure remain subject to US export controls. That means Washington could still restrict access to its most advanced models for foreign users. Austria’s argument isn’t that this is easy, it’s that Europe shouldn’t rely entirely on AI systems that could become unavailable because of a US political decision. Source. @aipost 🏴
