Dependence by Design: Europe's AI Sovereignty Test
The recent US export restrictions on Anthropic's most advanced AI models underscore a broader shift: access to critical AI technologies is becoming increasingly shaped by geopolitics. As Europe seeks to strengthen its technological sovereignty, businesses will need to navigate new risks, dependencies and opportunities.
In this briefing, we examine what these developments mean for international business and highlight the key trends and policy initiatives that are likely to shape the AI landscape in the months ahead.
Executive Summary
US export controls introduced – and fully lifted only after 18 days – on Anthropic’s most advanced AI models underline that the era of unrestricted access to critical technologies has ended.
The EU, which is largely dependent on others for its digital infrastructure, has now turned its attention towards technological sovereignty with the aim to boost domestic capacity in cloud, AI and semiconductors.
As China weighs its options to restrict access on its own critical technologies, an opportunity is created for the EU and the UK to become reliable suppliers of AI and cloud solutions across global markets.
