ABOUT THE SUMMIT
The Global Summit on Artificial Intelligence, Emerging Tech Law & Governance 2025 (GSAIET 2025) was held on 24 July 2025 in New Delhi, India. Organised by the Global AI Law and Governance Institute (GALGI), the Artificial Intelligence Law Hub, and Pavan Duggal Associates, Advocates, in academic collaboration with Cyberlaw University, the Summit embodied a proactive jurisprudential response to the rapidly intensifying global exigencies surrounding disruptive technologies.
The Summit assumed seminal importance against the backdrop of unprecedented technological acceleration, particularly the rise of artificial intelligence, quantum computing, blockchain architectures, autonomous systems, generative AI, and decentralized digital platforms. While these technological advancements offered transformational societal and economic benefits, they also generated profound legal, ethical, and regulatory complexities. Existing legislative and governance frameworks proved inadequate to address the multidimensional ramifications of these technologies—especially in relation to data privacy, algorithmic accountability, AI explainability, digital sovereignty, cybersecurity, and techno-legal liability.
GSAIET 2025 was conceived as a multidisciplinary, high-level, and outcome-oriented platform, bringing together jurists, policymakers, regulators, corporate leaders, AI scientists, digital rights advocates, and civil society stakeholders from across jurisdictions.
A unique hallmark of GSAIET 2025 lay in its commitment to producing tangible and enduring outputs. These included the drafting and adoption of an international consensus document articulating key legal, ethical, and governance principles for emerging technologies; the publication of an ISBN-registered peer-reviewed volume capturing insights from the proceedings; and the launch of a dedicated institutional partnership platform to facilitate continued cross-border cooperation, research, and capacity building in AI law and policy.
In culmination, the Summit sought to bridge gaps between law, technology, ethics, and policy by developing agile legal frameworks that ensured technological advancements remained aligned with human dignity, fundamental rights, constitutional values, and sustainable development imperatives. It reinforced the legal community’s critical role in shaping a future-ready jurisprudential ecosystem that is anticipatory rather than reactive, thereby safeguarding societal interests amidst the accelerating digital paradigm.
