BT Joins Anthropic's Project Glasswing Amid European AI Sovereignty Efforts
BT has announced its participation in Anthropic's Project Glasswing, becoming the first UK company to join the initiative. This move grants BT access to Anthropic's Mythos model, which is designed to enhance cybersecurity by detecting vulnerabilities in IT systems. The announcement was made by BT CEO Allison Kirkby during the UK government's AI Adoption Summit. The UK and Europe are currently balancing partnerships with big tech firms while pushing for AI sovereignty. The UK government has unveiled a £1.1 billion AI hardware plan to boost domestic chip production, part of which includes £400 million for AI chip procurement from UK startups. This initiative aligns with the EU's sovereignty package, which includes the Chips Act 2.0 and the Cloud and AI Development Act, aimed at fostering a European AI ecosystem.
