   G7 AI Summit: U.S. Pushes for Coalition as CEOs Urge Global Standards

   Dario Amodei of Anthropic and Demis Hassabis of Google DeepMind called for a U.S.-led AI coalition during closed-door talks with G7 leaders in Évian, France. The meeting included tech executives like Sam Altman and world leaders amid tensions over AI sovereignty and export controls. Allies remain divided over access to advanced models, with France pressing for broader use of Anthropic’s *Mythos* system. The U.S. has tightened restrictions on certain models, straining relations with partners.

   What's confirmed:

   • Dario Amodei (Anthropic) and Demis Hassabis (Google DeepMind) urged G7 leaders to form a U.S.-led coalition to shape global AI standards during a closed-door meeting in Évian, France.
   • The meeting included President Donald Trump, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, and tech executives such as Sam Altman (OpenAI), Pratyush Kumar (Sarvam AI), and others.
   • G7 discussions focus on security risks from AI and social media, with debates over sovereign control of AI infrastructure versus collaborative standards.
   • France’s President Macron expects progress on broadening access to Anthropic’s *Mythos* AI model, signaling a rift with U.S. export restrictions on models like *Fable 5* and *Mythos 5*.
   • Anthropic’s CEO warned G7 leaders to ‘resist the temptation to splinter’ over AI governance, emphasizing unity in setting global rules.
   • The U.S. has imposed export controls on Anthropic’s advanced models, which has unsettled allies concerned about market access and technological sovereignty.

   Still unconfirmed:

   • The West’s push for a U.S.-led AI coalition is partly motivated by excluding China from global AI governance frameworks.
   • Trump administration restrictions on Anthropic models may have prompted the company’s push for a unified U.S.-led approach to avoid further fragmentation.
   • Additional tech executives, including those from lesser-known AI firms, may have attended the meeting but were not named in primary sources.
