Shares in European software giants such as SAP and Dassault Systèmes fell sharply after the launch of new AI models.

The recent launch of powerful artificial intelligence models, such as OpenAI's GPT-5 and Anthropic's Claude for Financial Services, has triggered a further fall in the shares of some European companies, which are considered 'AI adopters'. This has sparked concerns that key industries, from software to data services, could be overtaken by the technology they have invested in.
