A joint declaration issued by Canada’s Prime Minister’s Office says leaders of Bahrain, Canada, Finland, France, Norway and the Netherlands, alongside executives of ten AI companies, signed the Paris call for AI safety and security on 9 November 2026. The companies are Anthropic, Black Forest Labs, Cohere, Domyn, Hugging Face, Microsoft, Mistral AI, OpenAI, Sakana AI and Synthesia. Four civil society organisations also signed.
Policy makers, researchers and developers commit to work on a common framework for evaluating and managing risks from frontier models, supported by shared technical standards and tools. They also agree to publish non-sensitive evaluation findings in a standardised format and create a public repository. Developers undertake to reveal their models’ abilities, constraints and identified risks, and to equip systems under their control with fail-safes that can restrict, pause or stop them during training or internal use.
The declaration calls for stronger arrangements to classify incidents and share timely information about serious cyber and AI control incidents. Signatories will explore the scope of a possible cooperation mechanism. Policy makers undertake to provide secure, private routes for whistleblowers who have a sound basis for reporting systemic risks, with protection against legal and professional reprisals.
