“Turning AI Risk into Performance through Compliance, Inclusion, and Ethics”
Designed as a direct response to leadership concerns, AI ON US offers an operational, immersive approach to AI risk — rooted in action. Over two days, participants will experience a unique format combining executive briefings, a simulation of the EU AI Act, the signing of the first international Charter for Inclusive AI, an ethical innovation sprint, and strategic networking — all in a confidential, high-level setting at the Imperial and Edouard VII Salons of the Hôtel du Palais (iconic venue of the 2019 G7), and the Salon Diane and Théâtre at the Casino de Biarritz.
Designed for Two Executive Profiles:
-
AI Builders: companies with AI as a core product or service.
-
AI Deployers: leaders (e.g., CMOs, COOs) ensuring successful AI integration across operations, marketing, HR, legal, and governance.
A Multi-Sector Response Built by 25 International Experts
The result of six months of rigorous preparation, the summit is structured around the work of 10 thematic teams comprising lawyers, technologists, researchers, psychologists, and ethicists from 10 countries. Together, they developed:
-
A cross-cutting AI risk and impact map
-
A mapping of regional laws and standards
-
Trust-by-design strategies
-
An immersive simulation based on the EU AI Act & a responsible innovation workshop
-
A Responsible AI Playbook distributed to all participants. Learn more.

8:30–12:00 – Executive Briefing: Risks, Impacts & LawS:
A two-part session: first, an analysis of AI risks and impacts using a comprehensive taxonomy across 10 key domains of responsible AI. Then, a review of regulations and standards in a fragmented global landscape — with a focus on the EU AI Act as a global benchmark, followed by an overview of U.S. Tier-1 market approaches. The extraterritorial effects of these laws will be explored in detail, particularly their implications for non-European companies active in the EU. Best practices from Asia and Latin America will also be shared.
