EU reviews US export rules on Anthropic, says partners should not be treated unfairly

The European Commission is reviewing a US export control order targeting AI company Anthropic. The order requires Anthropic to block foreign nationals from accessing its top AI models. EU spokesperson Thomas Regnier said high-performance AI models bring benefits but also cybersecurity risks, and emergency measures should not discriminate against partners. Regnier stressed the incident highlights Europe's need to strengthen its tech autonomy, and the Commission is assessing the real impact on European users.
