Von der Leyen endorsed pacing frontier AI and will summon the labs to Brussels.

In her September 16 State of the Union she backed pacing and said she'll invite the main frontier labs for a discussion on supporting industry pacing efforts, naming no companies and no date. She cited models enabling hacking "on a level we never thought possible" and referenced the July OpenAI-Hugging Face incident, and pledged closer safety cooperation with Canada, the UK and other like-minded countries. She used the same address to unveil the Kids Act banning social media for under-13s, a lower threshold than the under-15 restrictions a leaked draft suggested.
