Sovereign AI, independent of America and China, is a pipe dream
WHEN THE leaders of the biggest Western economies gathered last month in the French Alps for the G7 summit, it was not just presidents and prime ministers in attendance. The bosses of America’s leading artificial-intelligence firms—Sam Altman of OpenAI, Sir Demis Hassabis of Google DeepMind and Dario Amodei of Anthropic—were seated alongside the political bigwigs. Even the stewards of the mightiest economies, it turns out, are buttering up the potentates of AI.
TL;DR
- The G7 summit was attended by leaders of major Western economies.
- Prominent AI leaders, such as Sam Altman (OpenAI), Sir Demis Hassabis (Google DeepMind), and Dario Amodei (Anthropic), were present.
- Economic leaders are actively engaging with AI potentates.
