Writing for Itwelt after Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models were briefly cut off from users outside the US under export controls, KOBIL CEO İsmet Koyun argues the episode exposes a deeper structural problem: Europe's dependence on AI, cloud, and identity infrastructure it doesn't control. He traces this to a broader shift in which technology has become a geopolitical power factor, and argues Europe must move from consumer to builder of its own critical infrastructure. Koyun points to KOBIL's SuperApp technology — offered to the German federal government as a possible foundation for a "DeutschlandApp" — as evidence that sovereign European alternatives already exist and don't need to be built from scratch.
