And the populations who stand to benefit most are the ones being left furthest behind. This is why the conversation at the G7 matters now. France has placed digi- tal governance and the ethics of artificial intelligence firmly on the Évian agenda, reflecting a wider recognition that tech-

nological progress without public trust will not deliver real-world impact. In health, that principle is especially clear: Innovation will move at the speed of trust. THE GOVERNANCE DEFICIT IS REAL — AND THE G7 MUST LEAD The world’s most advanced econo- mies have made bold investments in AI innovation. What has lagged is the cor- responding investment in governance that allows innovation to scale responsi- bly. Without strong regulatory capacity, ethical guardrails and international coordination, even the most promis- ing AI solutions will struggle to move beyond pilots or reach those who need them most.
