Sixteen Governments and OpenAI Sign Paris Call for Frontier AI Testing

Sixteen governments including France, Canada and Kenya, plus companies such as Anthropic, Microsoft, OpenAI and Mistral AI, signed the Paris Call for AI safety and security on 9 November 2026. Signatories commit to common frontier-model evaluation standards, independent third-party testing, fail-safe shutdown mechanisms and confidential whistleblower channels. The declaration remains open to new endorsements.

• Signatories commit to build a publicly accessible shared repository holding red-teaming protocols, benchmarking tools and stress-test results.
• The declaration cites the International Network for Advanced AI Measurement, Evaluation and Science to make evaluation methods and results comparable across regions.
• The cooperation framework targets dangerous misuse in cyber and CBRN domains, plus risks from growing autonomy or model misalignment.
