Strategic priorities

The Geneva AI Summit 2027 is to be held on the theme of ‘Bridging Innovation and Trust’ with the focus set on two strategic priorities: AI as a driver of prosperity and progress for all and fostering trustworthy, responsible and safe use of AI.
Innovation and trust reinforce each other, responsible AI requires transparency and broad accessibility. Together, these priorities position Switzerland as both a global AI leader and a constructive bridge-builder in shaping AI's future.

Before Geneva 2027

From Bletchley Park (2023) to New Delhi (2026), the AI Summits have gradually broadened the debate -- covering security, action and impact -- towards inclusive global governance. Geneva, a hub of multilateralism and home to the ITU, will take over in 2027 to ensure this dialogue is sustained over the long term.
