Anthropic and OpenAI ‘enter’ Nato’s annual summit as Europe is tired of US asking to wait

America’s dominance over cutting-edge AI labs like OpenAI and Anthropic is a major point of contention as NATO leaders gather. The US, under the Trump administration, is restricting access to powerful AI models, sparking concerns among European allies about potential “kill switches.” In response, Europe is bolstering its own AI defense capabilities through partnerships like the one between Germany’s Helsing and France’s Mistral, aiming to reduce reliance on American technology.
