His response is unusual for an industrial executive – he is calling for a \u003Cstrong>binding international agreement\u003C\u002Fstrong> that establishes rules for AI development and deployment.

His argument: only if rival superpowers agree on strict rules can a global control model work. At the same time, he emphasizes that Europe, India, and other nations must be \u003Cstrong>involved from the beginning\u003C\u002Fstrong> – not as latecomers, but as equal partners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obermann derives the urgency from technical progress: modern AI models are now capable of conducting hacking attacks \u003Cstrong>largely autonomously\u003C\u002Fstrong>.

For German mid-market firms and industry, this potentially means \u003Cstrong>multi-layered compliance obligations\u003C\u002Fstrong> – from European to future global standards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the demand from an Airbus chief signals that \u003Cstrong>AI security and cybersecurity\u003C\u002Fstrong> may increasingly become regulatory topics.
