Brussels Pitches AI Cybersecurity Plan Amid Dependence on US Models
The blueprint would help authorities and companies get restricted access to advanced models as AI-driven cyberattacks grow more scalable, officials said.
- On Tuesday, The European Commission presented a blueprint to help authorities and companies access advanced AI for cybersecurity, aiming to assess and mitigate risks posed by advanced models before they reach the market.
- Henna Virkkunen, EU digital chief, warned that advanced AI models can now build cyber exploits in minutes, endangering infrastructure and society; Bart Groothuis noted hackers operate at the "speed of light" using these tools.
- Critics argue the plan generates paperwork rather than solving structural dependencies, as Brussels is reduced to negotiating early access with US firms like Anthropic and OpenAI for advanced capabilities.
- Ukraine favors self-hosted AI models to maintain control over digital tools; Roman Kyslyi, Chief AI Officer at the Ministry of Digital Transformation, called this sovereignty a "necessity" for government and military services.
- Kyiv is developing a model using Google's Gemma for autumn release, ensuring systems run on local infrastructure to avoid risks from remote, provider-controlled tools.

The Straits TimesUkraine to pick AI models operated without provider control, official says
By Leo Marchandon and Gianluca Lo NostroJuly 7 (Reuters) - Ukraine will favour AI systems it can run on its own servers, a senior ministry official said on Tuesday, as wartime Kyiv seeks to keep digital tools for government services, businesses and the military from depending on remote systems that providers can restrict or switch off.
The European Commission presented yesterday, 7 July, an Action Plan on cyber-security and artificial intelligence with an explicit objective: to ensure that EU companies and administrations can access the most powerful AI models — such as Anthropic's Mythos — to protect their critical infrastructures. What I see in this movement is much more than a computer security programme; Brussels is responding directly to the veto imposed by Washington in …
The European Commission today presented a plan to strengthen the cybersecurity of the European Union (EU) against the new risks associated with advanced artificial intelligence (AI), including the use of these technologies in faster and more sophisticated computer attacks.
