Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei urges G7 leaders to establish unified AI regulations

At a G7 working dinner in Evian-les-Bains on June 17, 2026, tech executives met with world leaders to discuss global AI regulations. Four technology representatives, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Google DeepMind leader Demis Hassabis, participated in the dinner to align Western safety policies. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei urged politicians to avoid fragmenting AI policies, warning them not to "yield to the temptation of division" to protect allied progress. His comments follow recent US export restrictions that forced Anthropic to pull its latest models offline globally. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick discussed a framework that could restore limited access for trusted partners. The plan requires allied nations to implement strict safety certifications to prevent advanced models from leaking to foreign adversaries.
