 "summary": "The Commission presented an action plan responding to advanced AI models that can both improve and undermine cybersecurity. It plans an EU capacity to evaluate AI models, a European blueprint for structured access to advanced AI capabilities developed with ENISA, a secure ENISA-JRC platform to test AI for cybersecurity, AI-assisted vulnerability fixing, and a campaign to secure critical open-source software. ENISA published its own recommendations for the frontier AI era the same day.",
 "whyItMatters": "It is a dedicated EU policy response to frontier AI cyber capability, including structured access for defenders.",
