“It is completely unacceptable that the administration of President Joe Biden has decided to restrict the access of a considerable number of EU member states and NATO Allies, including Estonia, to AI technologies,” Tsahkna said. “This decision has a direct impact on the ongoing or planned development activities of Estonia and other EU member states for creating a secure and reliable AI and its applications.”
Tsahkna said that Estonia has been a global leader of implementing innovative solutions throughout its society, and it has shared its expertise and experience globally. “When it comes to developing AI, it is clear that countries must expand their cooperation instead of imposing restrictions on supplying technology to Allies,” the foreign minister said.
“The EU functions as a common market, and in research and development, too, it is easier for us to be united and join the United States in countering untrustworthy technologies and global forces,” Tsahkna said.
“Estonia is in touch with US authorities and the European Commission to ensure that this error is rectified as soon as possible,” Tsahkna said.
