Dario Amodei sat across from Donald Trump at a G7 working lunch in France on June 17 and urged world leaders to resist fracturing over AI. Trump’s own administration had banned Anthropic’s most powerful models from export just days earlier.
The Anthropic chief executive told leaders gathered in Évian-les-Bains that democratic nations must “resist the temptation to splinter” over AI. Sam Altman of OpenAI and Demis Hassabis of Google DeepMind backed him at the same table, fierce rivals aligned on the same call, according to the Financial Times.
The US Commerce Department issued an export control directive to Anthropic, barring Fable 5 and Mythos 5 from non-US users and from foreign nationals inside the country. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick cited a reported jailbreak of Mythos 5 that would let users bypass safety guardrails to extract software vulnerability data.
Anthropic warned that applying the same standard industry-wide ban would essentially halt all new model deployments. The company sent senior staff to Washington earlier this week to seek a reversal.
The G7 speech landed with extra weight: Trump had already ordered all federal agencies to stop using Anthropic products in February, after the company refused Pentagon contract terms requiring its AI to be available for “any lawful purpose.”
French President Emmanuel Macron said the Anthropic dispute had “clarified the stakes.” If the US “from one day to the next can turn off the switch,” he warned, it would damage the multitrillion-dollar US companies leading the global AI race.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi raised the same concern, saying democratic nations must retain access to frontier AI to protect critical infrastructure.
Amodei left France without a resolution, but a call for AI unity. He had made his case to the man whose government created the problem, across the same table.
