- Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis proposed a U.S.-led coalition to establish rules and standards for artificial intelligence (AI) during a closed-door lunch meeting with tech leaders, G7 leaders, and global tech CEOs.
- The meeting took place on June 17, 2026, at the G7 Summit in Évian-les-Bains, France. The proposal emphasized international cooperation to mitigate AI risks and included key figures such as President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
- Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney agreed that the U.S. could take the lead role in forming an AI coalition.
- Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei suggested focusing on areas like structured access to advanced AI models and excluding China from trade in critical components. He also advocated for cooperation to address the cyber, bioterrorism, and intelligence risks associated with AI.
- The discussion followed the release of advanced cyber-capable AI models which raised national security concerns, leading to export controls on some models, such as Anthropic’s Fable 5 and Mythos 5.
- Anthropic remains in negotiation with the Trump administration due to these export controls.
- Other attendees included tech executives like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who called for an international forum to establish globally accepted standards for AI development and risk analysis.
- Notably, non-U.S. leaders in the room acknowledged the potential capability of the U.S. to lead the initiative in establishing global AI standards.
