Tech CEOs Push for US-Led AI Coalition at G7 Summit

Anthropic’s Dario Amodei and other tech executives are calling for a US-led coalition to establish regulatory frameworks around AI use. 

The CEO proposed international cooperation during a meeting with US President Donald Trump and several other industry tech leaders.

The meeting took place at the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains, France.

Two summit attendees state that the initiative would help protect against risks associated with the technology, adding that they are not authorised to discuss further details of the meeting.

Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney, agrees that the US should lead the AI coalition.

The meeting follows the release of increasingly powerful AI models that house advanced abilities. 

Industry experts have raised concerns that these models could cause major disruptions and potentially disasters if placed in the wrong hands.

Recently, Anthropic disabled access to its newest models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, after the US Government suspended access to the models, citing national security concerns.

Coalition plans exclude China from supply chains

OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, also attended the meeting alongside Dario.

Other tech executives from major firms who attended include Cohere CEO Aidan Gomez, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff and ScaleAI CEO Alex Wang. Several leaders from G7 countries were also in attendance.

President Trump, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnik and Secretary of State Marco Rubio represented the US Government. 

In his address, Dario said that areas of international cooperation should include structured access to frontier models. He added that the trade of chips and critical components must exclude China.

Nations should cooperate to address the risk of AI in cyber, bioterrorism and areas of intelligence, Dario says. Following these comments, Sam called for an international forum for discussion.

OpenAI announced that GPT-5.5, a version of its latest model, was rolling out in a limited preview capacity to specially selected cybersecurity teams. 

OpenAI Global Affairs Chief, Chris Lehane, was also present at the meeting.

He says non-US leaders in the room acknowledged that the country certainly could play the lead role in working to establish standards around AI.

Trump administration ban sparks concentration of power fears

The ban on the AI models of Anthropic has raised concerns among industry figures and foreign governments. 

These groups fear that actions implemented by the Trump administration could dictate which organisations can use leading AI models.

The US Government is yet to fully publicise its concerns over the potential conflict of the technology with national security. 

Several industry analysts say the move of the administration to limit foreign access was an overreaction. The analysts point out that other publicly available models have similar capabilities.

Reflecting on the concerns of the government, Sam called for an international forum to settle on globally accepted standards for testing and impartial analysis of AI risks. 

It is crucial that we do not allow the risks of this technology to lead to undue concentration of power, Sam says.
