Anthropic’s Dario Amodei and OpenAI’s Sam Altman, heads of the fiercest rivalry in AI, are sharing a lunch table at the G7 summit in France alongside Google DeepMind’s Demis Hassabis and Mistral’s Arthur Mensch, according to POLITICO. The official agenda has the CEOs discussing AI-driven growth and how to keep societies resilient, but one industry figure said the Trump administration’s shutdown of Anthropic’s Fable 5 and Mythos 5 will be the elephant in the room. The block, which cut off EU citizens from the models, has renewed calls for Europe to lean less on U.S. AI, though EU leaders signaled they would rather rebuild trust than confront Washington. Anthropic plans to meet EU and cyber officials in San Francisco on Thursday as part of its ongoing engagement.
