World Summit AI (WSAI) is where the brightest minds and most senior decision makers from technology, business, government and academia meet – uniting the entire ecosystem and shaping the future of AI.
Join us for two days of inspiring innovations, thought-provoking discussions, and AI revelations at WSAI USA!
A Global Gathering with Purpose
WSAI USA is part of the world’s leading summit series on Artificial Intelligence, connecting communities across Amsterdam, Doha, Montreal, and beyond. What sets it apart? Its mission: to forge a radically responsible, human-centred future for Artificial Intelligence—one built on collaboration, clarity, and courage.
Over two days, San Francisco will host heads of state and startup founders, machine learning engineers and human rights advocates, neurotech pioneers and humanitarian leaders. Why? Because this moment demands diverse perspectives and global cooperation. Artificial Intelligence is shaping everything from climate strategy to geopolitics, education to employment. WSAI exists to ask the hard questions and find the better answers.
From Hype to Impact: Content That Cuts Through
The WSAI USA agenda is built around the themes that matter most right now:
Artificial Intelligence & The World: How are national strategies and geopolitical rivalries accelerating—or distorting—the development of Artificial Intelligence? From global power struggles to digital sovereignty, this track gets to the heart of the new world order.
Physical Artificial Intelligence: As Artificial Intelligence steps beyond the digital and into the physical world, we explore what happens when machines see, sense, and act with autonomy. Expect breakthroughs in robotics, edge computing, and perception.
Autonomous Agents: What does it mean to design systems that can plan, learn, and make decisions independently? With next-gen agentic workflows reshaping industries, we’ll dig into the ethics, risks, and potential of this shift.
Humanity at the Centre: You’ll hear from leaders using Artificial Intelligence in refugee response, mental health, education, and accessibility. Because the real frontier isn’t just technological—it’s moral, social, and human.
Speakers include:
Gary Marcus – outspoken critic and advisor on Artificial Intelligence safety
Joel Myhre – humanitarian technologist with the Danish Refugee Council
Payal Arora – expert in inclusive innovation from the Global South
Ivan Poupyrev – award-winning pioneer in physical interaction design
Calum Chace – author exploring the future of Artificial Consciousness
Plus representatives from Meta, Stanford, Spotify, IBM, and more
Not Just a Summit: A Live Experiment in Collaboration
WSAI USA 2025 goes beyond the main stage. Attendees can join Chatham House policy roundtables, deep-dive technical workshops, and interactive “Artificial Intelligence rooms” hosted by industry leaders like NVIDIA and Groq. There’s also a dedicated showcase for startups pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
Crucially, this isn’t a closed ecosystem. WSAI’s community spans researchers, regulators, investors, educators, journalists, and citizens. Everyone with a stake in the future of Artificial Intelligence is invited to the conversation. No silos. No gatekeeping.
Why Now? Why You?
The Artificial Intelligence landscape is moving fast. Regulation is catching up. Public trust is shifting. Technology is accelerating. What happens next depends on the decisions we make today—and who gets to be in the room.
That’s why WSAI USA 2025 matters. It’s a summit for people who care not just about Artificial Intelligence’s power, but about its purpose. People who believe in building together, thinking long-term, and asking better questions.
Join us in San Francisco on June 18–19. Because Artificial Intelligence isn’t just evolving—it’s arriving. Let’s make sure it does so on our terms. To view the full program and buy your tickets click here
