CNBC·medium signal

At a June 17 working lunch at the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains, Anthropic's Dario Amodei and Google DeepMind's Demis Hassabis — joined by Sam Altman and ~a dozen tech leaders plus President Trump — called for a US-led coalition to set AI rules and standards. The session, themed 'ensuring a safe, rapid and effective deployment of AI,' covered frontier risk, sovereignty, and child safety. It unfolded against Anthropic's ongoing negotiations after Washington imposed export controls on its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models, sharpening the geopolitics around who governs frontier compute.
