Has Europe gotten AI wrong? A conversation between the author of Europe 2031 and an AI Now Institute advisor

In a conversation on Tech Policy Press, Europe 2031 co-author Maximilian Negele and AI Now Institute advisor Frederike Kaltheuner debate what exactly Europe's AI policy gets wrong. The fictional scenario report, released in June, argues that Europe will face economic and political marginalization if it does not participate in frontier AI competition, and sets Europe's loss of access to frontier models in 2029; the article states that the U.S. government ordered Anthropic to restrict non-U.S. users' access to its most advanced models within days of the report's release. Kaltheuner's three-part series, in which she participated, argues that Europe's dependency problem runs deeper than access to frontier models.
