FAQs

A few useful details

The Summit is an invitation-only gathering of senior researchers, technical leaders, and decision-makers from frontier AI labs, academia, and nonprofit research organizations. We are carefully curating a select group of participants who bring diverse perspectives and a clear stake in the major challenges facing the field.

The Summit will operate under the Chatham House Rule by default. Participants may disclose their own attendance and share ideas discussed at the Summit, but should not identify other attendees or attribute statements to specific individuals or organizations without their consent.
