EU's von der Leyen backs AI slowdown, to invite frontier labs for talks
📍 Where it landed
The EU convened in Brussels, where leaders discussed AI rules, von der Leyen’s pledge to curb AI development and her plan to host safety talks with leading AI labs, alongside proposals to relax antitrust rules for AI firms and broader tech ambitions. Commentary noted that the call for a pause had not dispelled extinction‑risk fears, and the coverage concluded without a definitive outcome.
