Geneva AI Summit 2027: International Summit on Artificial Intelligence in Geneva
The international summit on artificial intelligence (AI) governance, the Geneva AI Summit, will take place at the exhibition and conference centre Palexpo in Geneva on 21 and 22 June 2027. It will focus on two strategic priorities: seizing the opportunities offered by AI as a driver for prosperity and progress for all, while fostering trustworthy, responsible and safe use. Fabiola Gianotti has been appointed as Delegate for the summit by the Federal Council.
The Geneva AI Summit 2027 is the fifth international summit dedicated to AI governance. It offers Switzerland the opportunity to bring together its scientific, economic and diplomatic strengths and to play an active role in shaping the international debate on artificial intelligence.
This high-level international summit is to be held on the theme of ‘Bridging Innovation and Trust’. It will bring together participants across governments, international organisations, academia, the private sector and civil society to strengthen multilateral dialogue.
These two strategic priorities are complementary: to harness the opportunities offered by AI for innovation and prosperity, and to ensure the conditions for the responsible and trustworthy use of this technology. This strategic framework is also designed to remain sufficiently open to accommodate developments in a rapidly evolving field.
