Distinguished Guests, Global Leaders, Innovators, and Changemakers,

Welcome to the AI Without Borders Global Summit—a historic gathering where vision meets action, and where the future of artificial intelligence is shaped not by borders, but by shared values, inclusive innovation, and global cooperation.

Today, we stand at a crossroads in human history. AI is no longer a distant frontier—it is here, transforming our economies, our societies, and our lives. But with great power comes great responsibility. The question before us is not just what AI can do, but what it should do—and for whom.

This summit is a call to action. It is a space where governments, civil society, academia, industry, and communities come together to reimagine the role of AI in building a more just, equitable, and peaceful world. It is a platform for those whose voices are often unheard in global tech conversations—young leaders, women innovators, formerly incarcerated individuals, and communities from the Global South.

We are here to:

• Bridge divides—technological, geopolitical, and generational.

• Empower local intelligence—because innovation is not the privilege of a few, but the right of all.

• Champion ethical governance—so that AI serves humanity, not just markets.

• Celebrate partnerships—because no single nation, company, or institution can solve global challenges alone.

Let this summit be a testament to what is possible when we choose collaboration over competition, inclusion over isolation, and humanity over hierarchy.

Together, we will chart a new course—one where AI becomes a tool for peace, prosperity, and dignity for all.

Welcome to the future. Welcome to the AI Without Borders Global Summit.

Thank you.

Message from the Host of the AI Without Borders Global Summit

Context

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming societies, economies, and governance systems across the globe. Yet, the development and deployment of AI technologies remain uneven, often shaped by a few dominant actors and ideologies. As the world enters an era of intelligent acceleration, there is an urgent need for multilateral dialogue, inclusive innovation, and shared governance frameworks that reflect the diverse values, priorities, and aspirations of all nations.

This summit is inspired by the book Geopolitics of AI: The Clash of Four Competing Worldviews by Dr. Jean Narcisse Djaha, which explores how ideological visions—United States, China, Europe, and Global South—are shaping the future of AI and global power. The summit builds on this strategic framework to foster a plural, ethical, and people-centered AI future.

The AI Without Borders Global Summit seeks to convene global leaders, technologists, policymakers, academics, civil society actors, and youth innovators to co-create a vision for AI that is adapted to local realities while fostering global cooperation and trust.
