There is an Urgent Need for Multilateral Dialogue in AI Geopolitics

🌐 About the Summit

The AI Without Borders Global Summit is a pioneering international gathering dedicated to advancing multilateral cooperation for inclusive and ethical artificial intelligence. As AI continues to reshape global power structures, economies, and societies, this summit provides a timely and strategic platform for dialogue, innovation, and action.

Inspired by the acclaimed book Geopolitics of AI: The Clash of Four Competing Worldviews, the summit explores the ideological forces driving the future of technology—techno-libertarianism, digital authoritarianism, multilateral human-centricism, and corporate techno-pragmatism. These competing visions are not only redefining sovereignty and ethics but also influencing the global distribution of technological power and trust.

The summit brings together heads of state, policymakers, technologists, academics, civil society leaders, and youth innovators from across the globe to co-create a shared vision for AI that transcends borders. Through high-level panels, regional spotlights, youth innovation labs, and policy roundtables, participants will engage in critical conversations on how to shape AI systems that reflect diverse values, empower local communities, and foster global solidarity.

The AI Without Borders Global Summit is more than an event—it is a movement toward a future where artificial intelligence serves humanity with wisdom, justice, and compassion.

Our Inspiration

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.
