BRUSSELS, May 11 – European Union regulators are holding separate conversations with two major American artificial intelligence companies, OpenAI and Anthropic, according to a Commission representative who spoke Monday.
Commission spokesperson Thomas Regnier told reporters that officials appreciate OpenAI’s willingness to cooperate, particularly the company’s offer to provide access to its newest artificial intelligence technology. Meanwhile, the Commission has conducted four to five separate meetings with Anthropic, though conversations about potential access to that company’s AI systems have not yet begun.
During his daily news conference, Regnier explained the different stages of engagement with each company. “With one (OpenAI), you have a company proactively offering to give access to the company. With the other one (Anthropic), we have good exchanges though we’re not at a stage where we can speculate on potential access or not,” Regnier stated.
