On the summit's final day, G7 leaders — joined by India, Brazil, Egypt, Kenya and South Korea — issued a Leaders' Call demanding providers build default safety settings, parental controls and age-assurance into conversational AI tools for minors "in a timely manner." It's the most concrete AI deliverable to come out of Évian, landing as Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and Mistral executives sat in the room. The framing shifts the regulatory pressure from abstract sovereignty debates this morning to a specific product mandate on chatbots.

Senior Anthropic engineers have met with Commerce Department officials virtually every day since Friday's shutdown order, with National Cyber Director Sean Cairncross joining Monday's working-level session and CEO Dario Amodei and Secretary Lutnick both in Évian. More than 80 cybersecurity executives — including names at Nvidia and Adobe — have signed an open letter urging the restrictions be lifted. Kalshi traders today put restoration before July 1 at 57%, rising to 75% by mid-July.

Anthropic rolled out a big Claude Design update today that lets users import full design systems from GitHub repos, design files or raw uploads, then auto-checks and corrects output against them. The marquee feature is bidirectional integration with Claude Code — you can hand a design straight to the coding agent, or invoke design work from the terminal with a /design command. Crucially, Anthropic says it's directly addressed the tool's notorious token-burning problem and added an admin role to lock systems for enterprises.

Sanders is moving to formalize legislation creating an AI sovereign wealth fund financed by a one-time 50% stock tax on firms hitting $200 million in annual AI sales — OpenAI, Anthropic and xAI squarely in scope. Companies would transfer shares rather than cash, effectively making the public a major shareholder, with a seven-person Senate-confirmed commission wielding the voting rights. Sanders pegs the fund at nearly $7 trillion; critics call the economics fantasy.

Cook told the WSJ today that surging memory costs — driven by AI data centers vacuuming up DRAM — have made the situation "unsustainable" and price increases inevitable. He likened the shortage to a hundred-year flood, saying he's never seen anything like it in 40 years. It's the clearest sign yet that the AI buildout is now showing up directly on consumer price tags, with iPhones, iPads and Macs all in the firing line.
