MEPs question Anthropic's EU standing, discuss digital sovereignty |…

EU regulators are pressing Anthropic on digital sovereignty and data security following the US government's temporary restrictions on its frontier models, raising questions about European reliance on US-developed AI systems. The EU AI Office begins enforcement of the AI Act on 2 August and is developing frameworks to govern frontier model access without creating strategic dependence. If you're selling frontier AI into Europe, the EU now has enforcement teeth starting 2 August—and it's asking how you'll ring-fence European data from US government reach. That question will become a contract condition, not a compliance detail.
