G7 AI & Security workshop: Alleyways for effective international AI governance

As part of the French presidency of the 2026 G7 Summit in Évian, this workshop aims to provide a platform for multistakeholder dialogue on the governance of frontier models’ cyber capabilities, a challenge for which advancing coordinated international governance initiatives is both crucial, time-sensitive, and realistic.

According to new research, a rapidly increasing share of our digital ecosystems is now longer generated by humans but synthetic (at least 35% of all new webpages are partially or entirely AI-generated), generative AI is dramatically lowering the cost of elaborate scams, LLMs are now baked into self-editing malwares (e.g. Promptflux et Promptsteal), and frontier models (such as the recently released Mythos) are now posing national and global cybersecurity risks.

We invite you to join us on June 12, 2026, from 9:00 to 11:30, for two panels dedicated to these rapidly evolving policy challenges for which advancing coordinated international governance initiatives is both crucial and realistic.
