Preparations also finalised
The Federal Council, the Swiss executive body, had already expressed its interest in the 2027 edition before the Indian summit. Last month it announced that financing had already been finalised. Preparations for the organisation of the summit in Switzerland had also been completed, the government said at the time.
Since 2023, a series of high-level summits on artificial intelligence have been held in various countries. The first global AI summit took place in the United Kingdom. This was followed by further meetings in South Korea and France. The meetings are intended to facilitate an exchange on the opportunities and risks AI presents to society or in areas such as medicine, climate and agriculture.
