Henna Virkkunen, the European Union's tech chief, said the EU's existing AI rules can handle AI agents that go rogue. According to the report, she described the rules as more than capable of dealing with that risk. Cointelegraph published the story on Oct 10, 2026.
Her comments follow incidents at OpenAI and Anthropic that have raised concern around the world. The fear is that AI agents could act outside human control. The report does not say what those incidents were or when they happened.
The report also leaves out other details. It does not say where Virkkunen spoke, which parts of the EU rules she meant, or whether OpenAI or Anthropic have responded. It does not mention any new rule, deadline or enforcement action.
For someone already holding a perpetual position on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX, this story changes nothing directly. It does not name any of these exchanges and does not mention funding rates, trading fees or liquidity. The report describes no rule change that affects how perpetual futures are priced or how much they cost to hold.
