The third global AI summit, held in Paris on 10–11 February 2025 and co-chaired by France and India, shifted emphasis from safety to innovation and investment; the US and UK did not sign its final declaration on inclusive and sustainable AI.

## Key facts

- The International AI Safety Report (chaired by Yoshua Bengio) was published in January 2025 ahead of the summit
