G7 leaders have concluded agreements on a “human -centered approach” artificial intelligence The adoption, the fight against transnational oppression and the creation of markets based on standards for critical minerals, but not on the holding of Russia to account for his war in Ukraine or to obtain a cease-fire in the Middle East.
The seven world leaders have wrapped their summit In Alberta Tuesday without a unified press release on shared opinions, which was the norm after past rallies.
Rather, the summit has produced a series of joint declarations on questions ranging from artificial intelligence and quantum computer science to the smuggling of migrants and transnational repression.
A wider group of signatories, which includes Australia, India and South Korea, undertakes to work together to invest in responsible critical mineral projects.
Australia, India, Mexico, South Korea and South Africa have also signed with the G7 to a forest charter which calls for cooperation to prevent, fight and recover devastating fires.
G7 leaders published a short statement on Monday evening calling for a de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East in response to continuous fights between Israel and Iran.
There was no final agreement on the war in Ukraine or a collective effort to put pressure on Moscow in cease-fire negotiations. Canada and other allies announced the new Russian sanctions on Tuesday and aid to UkraineBut the United States has not followed suit.
A senior Canadian government official told journalists on the history that the United States had asked for a lower language on Ukraine and Russia that other members proposed, which did not lead to any joint declaration.
The official said it was difficult to make the United States agree on a statement on Ukraine in part because he tries to negotiate a ceasefire or a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine. They added that Canada planned to use the strongest language accepted by other leaders in the declaration of its closing president, which does not require consensus and will be released on Tuesday evening.
President Donald Trump left the summit a day earlier Facing the climbing of conflicts between Iran and Israel. He told journalists on the Air Force One on the way back to Washington that “we did everything I had to do in the G7”.
Prime Minister Mark Carney and Trump agreed to work Towards a new economic and security agreement between Canada and the United States in the next 30 days, the Prime Minister’s office said after the two leaders.

French president Emmanuel Macron said that Carney had fulfilled his mission as a host of the G7 to preserve the unity of the multilateral organization.
“We should not ask the Canadian Presidency to solve each problem on earth today, it would be unfair. But he held the group together,” said Macron, who will welcome the G7 next year.
Artificial intelligence “centered on man”
The declaration of artificial intelligence is the most detailed of G7 leaders to date.
He promises a “human -centered approach” to adopt technology that progresses quickly “to develop prosperity, benefit companies and resolve urgent global challenges”, in particular to stimulate economic efficiency and stimulate national security.
Although the press release indicates that G7 managers have recognized the risk that IA pose to employment safety, commercial models and energy security, it said that governments “should seize the potential of AI in our public sectors to stimulate efficiency and better serve our audiences” and help companies do the same to “evolve” their activities.
The leaders said that they would launch an AI adoption roadmap to rely on the previous G7 ministerial agreements on the adoption of the AI ”in the world of work” and to “build future resilient workforce by preparing workers with AI transitions”, in particular “developing a voluntary collection of best practices”.
He does not say how he plans to prevent large -scale job losses that certain Creators and Innovators of AI have warned could be unleashed by generalized and unregulated adoption.
The declaration indicates that the G7 countries will endeavor to fight against the consumption of heavy energy of the AI and to increase access to AI in developing countries.
“We recognize that an increase in the adoption of AI will exert increasing pressure on our energy networks, produces negative externalities and will have implications for energy security, resilience and affordability,” said the press release.
“At the same time, AI can be used to promote energy innovation and strengthen the resilience and reliability of our energy systems.”
The press release indicates that member countries “also hear the concerns of the emerging market and partners in the development of the challenges of the challenges they face in the construction of resilient AI ecosystems, including the risks of disturbance and exclusion of today’s technological revolution”.
He said Canada, which holds the G7 presidency this year, will host a series of “quick solutions laboratories” to “develop innovative and evolving solutions with obstacles to which we face to adopt AI in the public sector”.
Government ministers will be responsible for exploring “strategic investments to accelerate the adoption of public sector AI in a transformative manner” in Canada.
Carney and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a separate agreement on IA’s additional collaboration last weekend before the summit after Starmer visited Carney in Ottawa on Kananaskis.
The seven countries have also issued a “common vision” for emerging quantum technologies, by committing them to promote “public and private investments in quantum science and technology”.
Prevention of forest fires, the smuggling of migrants has also discussed
An agreement nicknamed the Kananaskis Forest Charter describes the stages that all G7 and five non -G7 countries intend to take efforts to prevent forest fire, research and community reconstruction collaboration.
At the top of last year, the leaders agreed to prevent and manage the negative impacts of forest fires but did not describe specific plans to do so and have committed to reverse deforestation by 2030.
The declaration comes when Canada is disputed another devastating season of forest fires and almost a year after a forest fire tore Jasper, a city in Alberta 250 kilometers from where the leaders meet.
G7 leaders have signed a statement committing to fighting the smuggling of migrants. The press release indicates that the G7 “will explore, in accordance with our legal systems, the potential use of sanctions to target criminals involved in migrant traffic operations and human trafficking from countries where these activities come.”
A separate declaration declared that leaders are “deeply concerned about increasing transnational repression reports”, defined in the declaration as an aggressive form of foreign interference in which states or their attorney try to intimidate, harass, harm or force people outside their borders.
The declaration condemns all forms of transnational repression, which may include a range of activities from assassination to cyber-surveillance.
He calls on member countries to report on transnational repression in the public reports of the G7 rapid response mechanism and to develop an EA framework to cooperate to counter such activities.
