France and Germany call for European AI sovereignty at VivaTech

At VivaTech in Paris, France and Germany emphasized the urgency of achieving European AI sovereignty after the US's recent suspension of access to Anthropic's AI models highlighted the volatility of global tech regulations. This call underscores Europe's need to establish its own AI framework to avoid dependency on external rules and to foster innovation within its borders. The push for sovereignty comes as a strategic move to ensure that European companies and researchers can develop AI technologies independently, safeguarding both economic and technological interests.
