AI CEOs Get The Head-Of-State Treatment Now
A short asking why AI CEOs are treated like presidents just crossed 1.7 million views. Here's the verified picture: June 17, Évian, France — the G7 lunch seated about a dozen AI chief executives with the leaders of the free world. Sam Altman took bilateral meetings with heads of state. Axios called it 'AI CEOs as heads of nation-states.' Two days before this video, crypto's CEOs stood behind the president in the Roosevelt Room. And the next meeting is already booked: 'the top people are coming in.'
Presidents used to summon industry. Now industry keeps a seat.

What the reel says
Narration as scripted and voiced.
It is a fair question. June 17th, Avian, France. The G7 lunch. Around the table, the leaders of the free world and about a dozen chief executives of AI. Sam Altman took bilateral meetings with heads of state. That is the treatment presidents get.
And if the picture feels familiar, it should. Two days ago, it was crypto's CEOs standing behind the president in the Roosevelt Room.
so if you have any questions we have a meeting next week with the ai people the top people are coming in and it's going to stifle a very important industry i think maybe bigger than the internet bigger than anything
At Evian, they asked for an American -led coalition to write the rules of AI. Presidents used to summon industry. Now industry keeps a seat.
