Trust as a Global Imperative: How to Operationalise Safe AI for All

AI systems are rapidly being embedded into social, economic, and political life, raising pressing concerns about safety, transparency, and trust. Efforts at the international level increasingly recognise that safe and trustworthy AI requires more than technical measures; it demands ethical grounding, sound governance, and a deep understanding of societal risks, including risks to peace, cohesion, and information integrity.

This roundtable discussion, part of the India AI Impact Summit 2026, brings together distinguished leaders from ethics, government regulation, multilateral norm-setting, and peace research to explore how Safe & Trusted AI can be concretely operationalised. By combining diverse knowledge systems and evidence-based approaches, the dialogue will contribute directly to the Summit’s goal of developing global, actionable, and inclusive pathways for responsible AI governance.
