According to Emirates News Agency, the statement from the EU officials highlighted the mutual benefits of unrestricted trade in AI technology. They remarked that the cooperation between the EU and the US, particularly in the field of security, represents an economic opportunity for the US rather than a security risk. The EU's stance underscores a call for maintaining a secure transatlantic supply chain that benefits companies and citizens on both sides of the Atlantic.

The US administration's proposed new regulatory framework on the export of advanced computer chips, which are pivotal in the development of artificial intelligence, has raised concerns due to its direct impact on some EU member states. The measures are expected to affect around 120 countries, many of which are EU members, sparking significant diplomatic discussions between the EU and the US.
