Global governments, AI companies sign Paris AI Security declaration

On Monday, 9 November 2026, heads of state, technology company chief executives, and civil society leaders signed the Paris Call for AI Safety and Security, establishing an international framework to manage the risks of frontier artificial intelligence (AI).

Bringing together national governments, industry developers, and academic researchers, the declaration commits signatories to ensuring advanced AI systems are developed safely and securely while remaining widely accessible. Participants acknowledged that because frontier models transcend national borders in their development, deployment, and societal impact, no single state, business, or international organisation can address their risks independently. Discussions surrounding the agreement centred on three immediate priorities: establishing clear, predictable regulatory frameworks; enforcing rigorous evaluation standards; and achieving tangible progress in transparency, risk management, verification, and incident reporting.

To put these goals into action, policymakers, developers, and researchers committed to three core strategic pillars: build on existing frameworks to create a common framework for the evaluation and risk management of frontier models; ensure accountability across all actors in the AI ecosystem relative to their roles; and implement structured information-sharing and early-warning systems. 

The declaration was endorsed by national leaders from Austria, Bahrain, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Kenya, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, and Portugal. Corporate signatories include Anthropic, Black Forest Labs, Cohere, Domyn, Hugging Face, Microsoft, Mistral AI, OpenAI, Sakana AI, Synthesia, and The Future Society, alongside civil society organisations including LawZero, SaferAI, AI Safety Connect, the French Institute of International Relations (Ifri), the Geopolitical Center for the Datasphere, the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) Policy Lab, the Centre for AI Safety (CeSIA), and the Oxford Martin AI Governance Initiative.
