Leaders of the G7 (the group of seven major industrialised democracies) gathered in Evian-les-Bains, France, on Wednesday to discuss the security risks posed by artificial intelligence and social media, marking the final day of a summit largely dominated by Donald Trump's Iran deal and the ongoing war in Ukraine. Heads of leading AI firms — including OpenAI's Sam Altman, Anthropic's Dario Amodei, and Arthur Mensch of European rival Mistral AI — joined leaders for a working lunch, signalling the growing weight governments are placing on the governance of emerging technologies. The session underscores mounting concern among the world's wealthiest democracies that unchecked AI development and the spread of harmful content online represent strategic risks on par with more traditional geopolitical threats.
