The GOOD GLOBAL SUMMIT 2025 AI brings together governments, technology leaders, academics, civil society and young people to explore how artificial intelligence can be directed towards the objectives of sustainable development (SDG) – and far from the growing risks of inequality, disinformation and environmental tension.
“”We are the generation of AI“Said Doreen Bogdan -Martin, Head of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) – The Specialized Agency for UN Information and Communications Technologies – in a speech.
But being part of this generation means more than the use of these technologies.
“”This means contributing to this effort to upgrade all of society, from the first education to lifelong learning“, She added.
Warnings on the risk of AI
Ms. Bogdan-Martin warned against growing dangers in the deployment of AI without public understanding or sufficient political surveillance.
“”The greatest risk that we face is not the elimination of the AI of the human race. It is the race to integrate AI everywhere, without a sufficient understanding of what it means for people and our planet“She said.
His remarks reflected a growing emergency feeling among decision -makers and technologists, as new “AI agents” systems capable of a reasoning and autonomous action emerge at unprecedented speed.
Some experts predicting AI at the human level over the next three years, concerns about safety, biases, energy consumption and regulatory capacity have intensified.

Exposed tech
The agenda of the summit reflects these tensions.
More than 20,000 square meters of space exhibiting the Palexpo de Genève now accommodates more than 200 demonstrations, including a flying car, a water quality instructor inspired by fish, brain interfaces and response tools in the event of AI disaster.
The workshops throughout the week will approach subjects ranging from AI to health care and ethics, gender inclusion and global governance.
A strong point will be the AI governance day Thursday, when national regulators and international organizations will meet the gap in global surveillance. An ITU survey revealed that 85% of countries have no specific AI policy or strategy, which has an alarms on unequal development and increasing digital divisions.
Focus on health
Health is a leading theme this year.
On Wednesday, the United Nations World Health Organization (WHO) will run a session entitled “Activation of AI for innovation and health access”, bringing together technologists, regulators, clinicians and humanitarian managers to explain how AI can improve health care provision – in particular in low -resource contexts.
Applications of the real world – of sorting propelled by AI in emergency care for diagnostic tools for rural clinics – will be enlightenedAlongside an overview of the next technical memory on AI in traditional medicine.
Experts will also examine the challenges of interoperability, regulatory harmonization and intellectual property rights at the intersection of AI and global health. The summit will star in AI for good prices, recognizing revolutionary projects that exploit AI for public benefits, with categories covering people, planet and prosperity.

Launchpad for action
The health track illustrates the main objective of the summit: ensuring that AI serves public good, especially in the most necessary areas.
The robotics teams led by young people from the poorly served communities will present solutions for the resumption after disaster and waste management, while startups compete for the innovation plant to present AI tools for education and climate resilience.
Live demonstrations include an autonomous orchard robot, a self-syndicated mobile toilet and a drone-Edna system for evolutionary biodiversity and pest monitoring.
The closure of her speech, Ms. Bogdan-Martin reminded participants that the future of AI is a shared responsibility.
“”Let us never stop putting AI at the service of all people and our planet“She said.
