Our program will focus on practical pathways for responsible deployment of AI at scale as systems evolve toward more agentic capabilities. Following a strategic pause in 2025, the agenda will build on the work from our prior summits—bridging the data divide (2022), leveraging AI and data to accelerate the SDGs (2023), and advancing inclusive AI through trust, ethics, and diverse voices (2024).
