# Macron's Paris 'AI and security' meeting

Full title: Macron's Paris 'AI and security' meeting: eight leaders and seven AI companies, including OpenAI and Anthropic, sign a call for independent evaluation and incident reporting

On 9 November 2026 Emmanuel Macron convened about fifty participants in Paris and by video, among them the leaders of Bahrain, Canada, Finland, Japan, Norway, the Netherlands, the UK and Sierra Leone, the US Treasury Secretary, the UN, the OECD, Sam Altman, Dario Amodei and Arthur Mensch. Seven AI companies signed a "Paris Call for AI Safety" on independent evaluation of frontier models, shared incident reporting and clearer responsibility; the Élysée says it is the first text of its kind signed by AI companies.

## Key facts
- Companies: Anthropic, Black Forest Labs, Hugging Face, Microsoft, Mistral AI, OpenAI, Sakana AI (no Google, Meta or xAI in the Élysée's list); researchers incl. Yoshua Bengio; US represented by the Treasury Secretary
- Three points of consensus: independent evaluators; aligned standards for evaluating and reporting major incidents; clarified responsibility of each actor
- Developers commit to publish capabilities, limits and known risks, support independent evaluation, put in place mechanisms to interrupt a model and strengthen internal governance; governments to clarify liability for large-scale, including cross-border, harm
- Common evaluation framework building on the international network for advanced-AI measurement (NAAIMES), focused on cyber, CBRN misuse and loss of control; non-sensitive results to be published in a shared public repository; secure channels for whistleblowers
- Follows the leaders–labs meeting at the G7 in Évian on 17 June; the text stays open to new signatories
- Macron on X (336k views): 'L'intelligence artificielle avance très vite… cela implique des risques réels pour notre sécurité collective'; on Nov 10 he also said AI uses that put children's mental health at risk should be banned, with pre-audits of models offered to children (Euronews)

## What happened

A follow-up to June's G7 session with lab leaders, held the same day Anthropic released Fable 5.2. The commitments are voluntary; the
communiqué names the signatory companies but gives no enforcement mechanism or timetable. We did not find tech-press coverage on
Techmeme; the source is the Élysée's communiqué and AFP relays.

## Why it matters

It is the first jointly signed text in which major US and European labs accept independent evaluation, shared incident reporting and
model-interruption mechanisms alongside governments, at a time when national regulators (Australia, the EU) are moving to binding rules.
