With Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei google In a meeting with technology leaders and heads of state, including President Donald Trump, DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis called for a U.S.-led coalition to shape rules and standards around artificial intelligence, CNBC reported.
The closed-door lunch meeting was held at the G7 summit in Evian-les-Bains, France, on Wednesday. Mr. Amodei and Mr. Hassabis both proposed international cooperation in AI, with the United States in the lead, to protect against risks associated with emerging technologies, said two people familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to discuss the meeting.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney agreed that the U.S. could lead the AI coalition, according to one of the people and another person familiar with the discussions.
Antropic declined to comment on the G7 meeting. Google DeepMind and the Office of the Prime Minister of Canada did not respond to requests for comment.
The gathering follows the release of increasingly powerful AI models with highly advanced cyber capabilities, which some industry experts have raised concerns that could cause disaster if they fall into the wrong hands. Most recently, Anthropic on Friday revoked access to its newest models, the Fable 5 and Mythos 5, after the U.S. government imposed export controls on those models citing national security concerns.
In addition to Amodei and Hassabis, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman also attended Wednesday’s meeting, which included about a dozen technology executives. Leaders of the G7 countries also participated.
In addition to President Trump, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Rutnik, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio attended on behalf of the United States.
In his address to the group, Amodei said areas for international cooperation should include structured access to frontier models and trade in chips and critical components that excludes China, one of the sources said. Amodei also said countries should work together to address the risks of AI in cyber, bioterrorism and intelligence fields, the report said.
Anthropic continues to negotiate with the Trump administration after export controls for its newest models went into effect late Friday.
In his comments, Altman called for “an international forum that establishes globally accepted testing standards, provides an unbiased analysis of capabilities and risks by experts, and serves as a forum for cooperation between nations,” according to an OpenAI press conference.
Last month, OpenAI announced that a variation of its latest model, GPT-5.5 Cyber, would be deployed in limited preview capacity to vetted cybersecurity teams.
Chris Lehane, head of international affairs at OpenA, who attended Wednesday’s meeting, said non-US leaders in attendance acknowledged that the US “certainly can play a leading role in efforts to establish” standards around AI.
