Macron says he expects progress on broadening access to Anthropic's Mythos

French President Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday he believed progress would be made in coming weeks on broadening access to leading U.S. AI models, as G7 leaders pledged closer coordination on the risks and opportunities of frontier AI.



Macron's comments came as G7 leaders, who had gathered for the June 15 to 17 Group of Seven summit in the French resort of Evian-les-Bains, discussed the creation of a "trusted partners" scheme granting access for non-U.S. nations to advanced U.S. AI models from firms like Anthropic.



Cybersecurity experts are concerned Anthropic's Mythos, developed to find coding flaws to bolster cyberdefences, could potentially turbo-charge attacks on the very systems it aims to protect. Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump told Anthropic to block foreign nationals from accessing its advanced models,

citing national security concerns.
