AI for Good Global Summit 2025: A Gateway to Innovation and Collaboration
The AI for Good Global Summit 2025 is set to take place at Palexpo, the largest convention centre in Geneva, from 8 to 11 July. Organised by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in partnership with 47 United Nations (UN) agencies and co-convened by the Government of Switzerland, this four-day summit will serve as a prominent platform for discussing the future of AI technologies. 
Exploring AI's Impact on Global Challenges
The event aims to bring together over 1,000 leading AI experts, innovators, and decision-makers from around the globe, as well as attract more than 10,000 participants from various sectors. The summit will commence with “The Great AI Debate,” a conversation between Yann LeCun, Head of AI at Meta AI, and Geoffrey Hinton, a Nobel Laureate. These two pioneers, known as the "Godfathers of AI," will offer their perspectives on the evolving AI landscape, setting the tone for a series of discussions, workshops, and keynote addresses scheduled over the four days.
Promoting Responsible AI Deployment
The 2025 summit will introduce the Quantum for Good initiative, coinciding with the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. This initiative highlights the potential of quantum technologies to address critical areas such as cybersecurity and medicine, aligning with AI’s transformative capabilities. A key feature of the summit is the AI for Good Impact Awards, which will recognise AI-driven projects that have made a significant social impact. 
Driving Innovation Through Standards
The summit will also feature the International AI Standards Exchange on 11 July, organised in collaboration with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). This session will focus on the future trajectory of AI and the importance of establishing international technical standards to foster innovation while addressing global concerns.
