Germany Launches AI Safety Institute to Counter US and China's Dominance
Germany's National Security Council has approved the establishment of an AI Safety Institute, modeled after the UK's AI Security Institute, to assess the risks and capabilities of advanced AI models. The move aims to reduce Germany's dependence on US and Chinese AI technology and ensure the country's cybersecurity.
Germany's National Security Council has decided to establish an AI security institute. The "DE-AISI" will test frontier models from Anthropic or OpenAI for security risks, following the British model. But as long as the EU doesn't have its own frontier models, it remains dependent on US and Chinese AI technology, and those providers are tightly linked to their home governments.
