This event is “On the Road to the Geneva AI Summit” – an official pre-Geneva Summit event and the first such in the UK.
OpenUK’s AI Policy Day, London, 2 December, will focus on the key issues in AI faced globally in 2026, with openness as a topic that cuts across the questions.
The five topical questions in AI Policy have been mapped to the Geneva AI Summit’s theme “Bridging Innovation and Trust”, with the Priorities: Prosperity and Progress and Trust and Safety. They will dive into the key areas, with world-class speakers from technology, policy, politics, academia and business.
These questions align with the AI Summit’s two strategic priorities: harnessing AI as a driver of economic growth, scientific advancement, and sustainable development (Prosperity and Progress), and fostering transparent, responsible, and secure governance (Trust and Safety) and begin OpenUK’s work towards the Summit.
In pulling our conversation together for the 2 December discussion, we recognise that 2027 will bring the UK as host of the G20 in 2027.
The UK’s hosting of the G20 Summit in 2027 will reinforce its focus on a global economy that delivers stable growth, fair trade and investment – key to bringing prosperity to every corner of the UK. At the same time, we see a shift in the AI Summits growing from the UK.
And in Geneva in June, a focus on “Bridging Innovation and Trust to the fore at the Geneva AI Summit”. Switzerland will lead the global AI Summit in June 2027, Geneva, shifting from Paris’ Action Summit and Delhi’s Impact to building both Innovation and Trust. They drill down from the broad Chakras of Delhi to two strategic priorities: AI as a driver of prosperity and progress for all and fostering trustworthy, responsible and safe use of AI.
A closing section addresses how the open source, open weights, and open data debate cuts across all seven subjects.
The day will be recorded and shared, press will attend, and OpenUK will provide a report of the discussion.
We are already planning a Day Zero AI Openness Day on 20 June in Geneva with a number of partners, and sponsorship opportunities are available.
