At the G7 summit in France, European leaders called on the US to share access to the latest artificial intelligence models amid concern over Washington's recent export controls. French President Emmanuel Macron warned that without transatlantic co-operation, "we will fracture the world, and we will have no effective solution." A platform will be set up in the next month among a handful of Western democracies, with leaders planning to meet in September. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said it was in the “mutual interest” of US and European companies to share technology, adding that “frontier models developed by the US have unprecedented capabilities, and the EU is developing a vibrant innovators ecosystem.” Germany's Chancellor Friedrich Merz said AI technologies should be available to all, but Europe also needs to catch up. AI company Anthropic's chief executive Dario Amodei was the focus of attention after his firm disabled access for all users to Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, following an order from US President Donald Trump to block foreign nationals from accessing its most advanced AI models. Diplomatic sources described conversations over sharing advanced AI models as “delicate and evolving”. The so-called “trusted partners” could be countries or companies.
