During a closed-door meeting at the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and Google DeepMind's Demis Hassabis emphasized the importance of a U.S.-led coalition to create rules and standards for artificial intelligence.
This call for international cooperation comes amid growing concerns about the potential dangers of powerful AI models, particularly after Anthropic disabled access to its latest models due to U.S. export controls linked to national security. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney supported the idea of U.S. leadership in this initiative.
Amodei suggested that cooperation should focus on structured access to advanced AI models and the trade of critical components while excluding China. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman also participated in the meeting, advocating for an international forum to establish globally accepted standards for AI testing and risk analysis.
The discussions reflect a broader recognition among tech leaders and government officials of the need to address the implications of AI technology on security and global cooperation
