EU Asks for Risk Assessments of Chip, AI, Quantum Investments

The European Union asked member states to review investments by their companies in non-EU countries in sensitive sectors like semiconductors and artificial intelligence.

As part of a broader effort to boost the bloc’s economic security, the EU wants governments to assess potential risks and help prevent key technologies from falling “into the wrong hands,” according to a news release. The initial assessments, which also cover quantum technologies, are due July 15, with a full assessment coming by March 2026.
