Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and Google DeepMind's Demis Hassabis used a closed-door G7 lunch in Évian-les-Bains to propose a US-led coalition for shaping international AI rules and standards. Canadian PM Mark Carney signaled support for US leadership. OpenAI's Sam Altman separately called for an international AI testing and standards forum. No binding commitments emerged from the meeting. The pitch came just days after the US government imposed export controls on Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models, highlighting the tension between AI labs positioning themselves as Washington's partners while fighting its restrictions on their own products. The gathering included executives from Mistral, Cohere, Salesforce, Meta, and international AI firms, reflecting France's effort to frame AI governance as a global conversation.
