What should the Summit achieve?

The upcoming AI Action Summit in Paris (February 2025) represents a critical opportunity for shaping the global dialogue on artificial intelligence. As global leaders from tech, government, and other sectors come together to shape the future, it will be vital that the summit's consequential discussions are grounded in diverse perspectives and scientific understanding. This consultation creates a space for experts from civil society and academia to contribute their visions for the AI Action Summit. This consultation is organized by The Future Society, in partnership with the French government, Sciences Po, the AI & Society Institute, le Conseil National du Numérique (CNNUm) and Make.org. We are seeking your insights, in order to inform concrete deliverables and actionable proposals to support the Summit’s agenda-setting and outcomes.

Findings from this consultation will be:

• Synthesized and presented to the Summit organizers throughout the event's preparation.

• Presented to global leaders and policymakers before and during the Summit.

• Made publicly available, enhancing the global conversation on AI governance.

While submissions are not official Summit outputs, they are integral to the multistakeholder process that can steer the future of AI governance in a positive direction.

Who can participate?

We welcome contributions from academic organizations, independent experts, think-tanks, and civil society organizations. We strongly encourage participation from diverse backgrounds, disciplines, and regions to ensure a comprehensive global perspective.

You can find more details on the consultation initiative on the website of the French AI Summit.
