SDAIA, DCO and ICAIRE to discuss responsible AI implementation in Geneva
Responsible AI implementation session will focus on public-sector adoption.
A side event at the first session of the Global Dialogue on AI Governance will focus on responsible AI implementation, exploring how ethical AI commitments can be translated into practical governance and delivery models.
The session, titled Responsible, Trusted, and Safe AI for Prosperity: From Principles to Practice will take place on 7 July at Palexpo in Geneva. It is being organised by the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA), the Digital Cooperation Organization (DCO), and the International Center for Artificial Intelligence Research and Ethics (ICAIRE).
According to the concept note, the discussion will explore how governments and their partners can move from shared AI principles to institutional models that support the safe, trusted, and inclusive deployment of AI. Topics will include national AI readiness, public-sector adoption, governance frameworks, capacity-building and cross-border cooperation.
The organisers frame responsible AI implementation as a public value issue, linking it to stronger public services, national development priorities and sustainable digital prosperity. The session will also highlight SDAIA’s role in building national AI capabilities, ICAIRE’s work connecting AI ethics with research, and the DCO’s efforts to strengthen international digital cooperation.
The agenda includes keynote remarks from DCO Secretary-General Deemah AlYahya and a senior representative of SDAIA. A high-level panel featuring representatives from the DCO, ICAIRE and participating governments will be followed by a question-and-answer session with the audience.
Why does it matter?
The discussion reflects a broader shift in international AI governance from developing high-level principles to building the institutions, skills and regulatory frameworks needed to implement them effectively. As more countries publish AI strategies and governance commitments, the challenge is increasingly how to translate those ambitions into practical public-sector capabilities.
The session also highlights the growing importance of international cooperation in AI governance. By bringing together governments and international organisations to exchange implementation experiences, the event aims to support more consistent, trusted and inclusive approaches to AI adoption across different countries.
