Geneva 2027 AI Summit Roadmap: GenAI Zürich Checkpoint (invite-only)
An invite-only roundtable bringing together policy, research, and industry leaders to brainstorm Switzerland's approach to the Geneva AI Summit 2027. The session focuses on how Switzerland can leverage its distinctive strengths – open debate culture, interdisciplinary cooperation, and pragmatic governance – to shape international AI dialogue and deliver tangible outcomes.
Key discussion threads:
Identifying Swiss strengths that can anchor the summit's focus and differentiate its outcomes
Mapping where international stakeholders most urgently need dialogue, progress, and concrete deliverables
Assessing potential partners and political dynamics around specific goals
Developing concrete tools, instruments, and solutions as "Swiss contributions" to global AI challenges
Applying Swiss values of diversity, subsidiarity, and cooperative spirit to both the summit's substance and its preparatory process
