Overview
- Carney spoke in Dublin on Sunday and said the upcoming G7 meeting in Évian-les-Bains could help create a new, more plural world order rather than relying on a single country or set of institutions.
- He said the summit will include outreach partners such as India, Brazil, Gulf states and Kenya to broaden legitimacy and to form targeted coalitions for specific problems.
- Carney highlighted technology governance as a top priority, pointing to the recent U.S. directive by President Trump that blocked foreign use of Anthropic’s Fable 5 and Mythos 5 and Anthropic’s decision to take those models offline.
- Canada has moved domestically with Bill C-34, an online harms measure that would ban social accounts for users under 16 and regulate AI chatbots, which Carney said fits into broader G7 talks on child safety and AI standards.
- He warned the summit will carry a heavy geopolitical element because of the war in Iran and argued the moral choice is to do everything possible to secure a durable ceasefire while middle powers pursue practical, narrow partnerships like ACITI to deliver results.
