Trustworthy AI: in systems, for society

AI Geneva Summit | Road to Geneva
23 September 2026
17:30 – 20:30 EDT
Residence of the Swiss Ambassador

The event is one of the Frontiers Science House roadshow stops, extending Science House’s mission of putting science at the center of global decision-making.

It also opens 'Road to Geneva', a series of events building toward the Geneva AI Global Summit 2027 — the fifth international summit dedicated to AI governance, convening governments, international organizations, academia, industry and civil society to strengthen multilateral dialogue.

Trustworthy AI is no longer only a question of what a model says on a screen. The World Economic Forum's Top 10 Emerging Technologies of 2026, produced in collaboration with Frontiers, shows AI increasingly embedded in the systems societies depend on, from designing medicines to balancing grids and modelling the physical world itself. That shifts where trust has to live: into the models, data and infrastructure themselves, and into the rights frameworks, regulation and international coordination built around them.

The event is part of the accredited program of the AI Geneva Summit - Road to Geneva
