High-Level
Summit on AI

We are living through a historic transformation, driven by rapid advances in artificial intelligence and digital technologies. These shifts are reshaping not only economies and industries — from science to education — but also the very fabric of our societies.

But one fundamental question remains:
Are we, as humankind, truly prepared for these profound changes?

BratislavAI Forum will serve as a flagship contribution by the Slovak Republic to the evolving global architecture of AI governance—building on the momentum of the AI Action Summit in Paris (February 2025) and paving the way toward the High-Level Global AI Conference in India (2026). It offers a unique opportunity to address key human challenges related to AI, including the balance between technological development and the cultivation of essential human capabilities.

Forum will bring together high-level government representatives, international organizations, senior leaders from technology companies, and thought leaders to foster dialogue and cooperation.

Topics

Responsible Intelligence: Shaping the Future of AI Together

Despite rising global attention, the absence of a unified international AI governance framework has led to fragmented policies, inconsistent development standards, and growing risks of misuse. The implementation of the UN Global Digital Compact, OECD AI Principles, UNESCO Recommendation and other multilateral frameworks may offer a guiding path toward digital trust and accountability.

The inclusive use of artificial intelligence must remain at the forefront of global priorities. AI’s potential to transform all sectors of society offers vast opportunities for innovation, growth, and equity. However, this potential can only be fully realized if AI is leveraged to ensure equitable access and shared benefits for all, regardless of geography, socio-economic status, or background.

BratislavAI Forum will highlight that coordinated international approach is essential to harness AI responsibly and equitably, aligning technological advancement with public interest.

Reimagining the Future: Economy & AI in a New Era of Trust, Innovation and Policy

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming the global economy, reshaping industries, labor markets, and societal norms. As AI systems become more integrated into decision-making processes, questions arise about trust, productivity, innovation, and public policy.

Forum also brings together economists from central banks, technology experts, and legal professionals to explore the multifaceted relationship between AI and the economy. Discussion will illuminate pathways toward a future where AI enhances trust, drives innovation, and supports inclusive growth.

The aim is to foster a multidisciplinary dialogue on the economic implications of AI, balancing optimism with caution.
