EU’s von der Leyen to invite frontier labs for talks on tackling AI risks

The European Commission will work with leading AI labs on safety measures as concerns grow over frontier models and recent testing breaches.

  • On Wednesday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced she will invite frontier AI labs to discuss supporting industry efforts to "pace the frontier" of disruptive technology.
  • Models being developed allow hacking "on a level we never thought possible," Leyen said, warning that powerful technology could soon reach adversaries who view the world differently.
  • CEOs of advanced companies suggest it is time to "slow down on the self-recursive models," a view echoed by researchers concerned about racing toward superintelligence without responsible action.
  • Europe intends to collaborate with partners like Canada on model evaluation, verification, and AI security, leveraging landmark rules recently adopted by the Union to shape global efforts.
  • The Commission President will announce specific details regarding the proposed discussions on Thursday, clarifying how authorities will support ongoing industry efforts to manage these emerging risks.
