​Europe 2031: A Scenario, and the News That's Catching Up to It
​This session will discuss Europe 2031: What getting AI wrong means for us. A recent scenario-narrative imagines, through two fictional Europeans, how the continent could lose the ability to shape its own future by mishandling the AI transition.
​Just days after the document was published on 11 June 2026, Anthropic, in compliance with recent US national security directives asking to restrict access to its most advanced models to US citizens only, suspended services for Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all users.
​We'll use the story as a starting point and discuss the policies the EU is applying and the concept of AI sovereignty, and the potential consequences of this new race. We are going to use Draghi's report's competitiveness diagnosis as the policy backdrop and the current stance of the EU regarding its AI sovereignty.
