Europe's dependence on American technology sparked concern on the continent after Washington in June cut off for two weeks all foreign countries' access to the most powerful artificial intelligence models developed by Anthropic.

Costa wrote on the X platform that the summit scheduled for November 13 will examine how the European Union can “strengthen its competitiveness and sovereignty in the field of artificial intelligence, and contribute to international cooperation on its governance.”

He added that Artur Mensch, CEO of Mistral, a French company specialized in developing artificial intelligence models, will participate in the summit.

Mistral is the most prominent European company developing artificial intelligence models, although its technologies still lag behind those of its Chinese and American competitors.
