AI systems increasingly shape social, economic, and political life, raising concerns about safety, transparency, and trust. Global efforts recognise that trustworthy AI requires more than technical safeguards; it demands ethical foundations, strong governance, and awareness of societal risks. This session brings together leaders from ethics, government, multilateral institutions, and peace research to examine how Safe and Trusted AI can be operationalised through inclusive, evidence-based approaches that advance responsible, globally aligned AI governance and policy practice.
