Top AI executives urged world leaders to establish an international coalition – led by the U.S. – to govern advanced AI systems, highlighting growing concerns that increasingly powerful models could pose cybersecurity and national security risks.
During a closed-door meeting at the Group of Seven summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis called for international cooperation on AI standards, testing and safeguards, according to CNBC.
The meeting included President Trump, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and senior U.S. officials including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Other tech CEOs scheduled to attend the meeting included Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, Meta Chief AI Officer Alex Wang, Mistral CEO Arthur Mensch, Cohere CEO Aidan Gomez, Domyn (Italy) CEO Uljan Sharka, Synthesia (U.K.) CEO Victor Riparbelli and Black Forest Labs (Germany) CEO Robin Rombach.
The discussions come as governments grapple with the emergence of frontier AI models that can perform increasingly sophisticated cyber tasks. Recently, the U.S. government imposed export controls on Anthropic’s newest models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, citing national security concerns. Anthropic subsequently restricted access to the models while working to comply with the order.
According to CNBC, Amodei argued that areas for international cooperation should include access to frontier AI systems and controls on the trade of advanced chips and AI infrastructure that excludes China. Canada’s Carney reportedly agreed that the U.S. could play a leading role in such a coalition.
OpenAI’s Altman proposed creating “an international forum for discussion that establishes globally accepted standards for testing, provides expert and impartial analysis of capabilities and risks, and serves as a venue for cooperation among nations,” according to the news outlet.
