From Principles to Practice: Implementing Secure and Ethical AI Frameworks Worldwide (Les Mardis de l’IA x Sciences Po x CeSIA)
AI is reshaping economies, societies, and global security architectures at an unprecedented pace, generating both opportunities and rising systemic risks. Frameworks such as the OECD AI Principles provide a robust foundation for responsible and human-centric innovation. The pressing challenge now lies in translating ethical AI principles into robust governance models and enforceable safety requirements capable of mitigating risks and strengthening societal trust.
Building on the momentum of the French G7 Presidency and transitioning from the 2026 AI Impact Summit in Delhi to the 2027 edition in Geneva, this roundtable seeks to contribute to defining an international AI playbook that ensures AI delivers positive impact while effectively managing rising global risks. Hosted at Sciences Po under the Les Mardis de l’IA initiative and co-organised with the Centre pour la Sécurité de l'IA - CeSIA, the event convenes leading policymakers, diplomats, researchers, and AI governance experts at a pivotal moment for international AI coordination.
