I have a question regarding AI safety in light of Dario Amodei call for peace in the frontier of AI development.

I was wondering whether the EU had been reached out by anthropy regarding this, since the blog post mentions, of course, that governments will have to play a role,

and in general,

whether the Commission has any position on this proposal to Reduce the speed of frontier AI models development. Thanks a lot. Hi John. So governments have to play a role. This is what you're saying.

The EU is definitely playing a role in this, area.

I think we can say with quite some confidence that we are front runners.

Obviously we have put everything in place to, have security safeguards,

safety safeguards for our citizens when it comes to the development and deployment of artificial intelligence in the European Union. This is what we're doing. We have the AI Act. It's fully enforced. We are enforcing it.

We have sent the first request for information.

Now on accelerating or slowing down or pacing or however you want to call it,

we are for innovation in Europe.

We welcome AI services in Europe as long of course that this is done fully in line with the AI Act and the safeguards that we have put in place. Thank you for your question. Follow up. You're just zeroing in on a.

Specific parcel on my previous question, which was,

has Anthropic engaged with the Commission regarding this pacing exercise at all?

I'm not aware of this and we wouldn't enter into these bilateral discussions in any case.

What we have, and these are the developments we have been talking about on on Friday,

is the fact that we have access to most of the latest models.

I mean our cybersecurity agency, we're testing them, and of course compliance is not an option.

It's an obligation in the European Union and again we take these safeguards for our citizens extremely seriously.

You see Thomas, other questions on this topic for Thomas. Other questions for Thomas? Go ahead. Hello, Maximilian Henning for your active. Yeah, specifically on this pacing.

Under the EU's general purpose AI code of practice,

isn't it already basically a duty that if a company says our model is not safe,

that they should not proceed with developing it.

Then, isn't it basically already law to pace your development if you deem it to be unsafe? Thank you.

The DSA, the DMA, the AI Act, indeed everything is about compliance.

Of course we're all in favor of having innovative and the latest models in the European Union, but we're not compromising on our security standards.

So indeed the burden is on the companies.

It is for them, as you rightly say, Maximilian, to prove that their services are safe to use here by our citizens. Thank you Tom.

Other questions for Thomas on this topic we're here. Other topics.

Just let me check if there's anything on this specific topic first. No, let me come over to you.
