The EU seeks to reduce its reliance on US AI in cybersecurity

he European Parliament in Strasbourg hosted a debate lastTuesday on the European Union's ability to respond to the growing impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI). In particular, lawmakers addressed Europe's technological dependence on the United States, where companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic are developing new cybersecurity-focused models –GPT-5.5-Cyber and Mythos, respectively– that could enter the European market in the near future.

Cypriot Deputy Minister for European Affairs Marilena Raouna, whose country currently holds the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union, stated that "AI is becoming increasingly integrated into our economy and our security," while warning that the new generation of advanced AI systems also poses significant risks.

"It allows us to detect vulnerabilities in software, but in the hands of cybercriminals or hostile state actors, it can become a threat," she said.

Raouna stressed that these risks are already materializing through sophisticated phishing attacks and disinformation campaigns: "The EU must be prepared and cannot afford to fall behind."
