Summit Overview

Scheduled for 24 July 2025 in New Delhi, India, the Global Summit on Artificial Intelligence, Emerging Tech Law & Governance 2025 (GSAIET 2025) will convene the foremost jurists, policymakers, regulators, technologists, industry leaders, and civil-society advocates to confront the legal, ethical, and governance challenges posed by artificial intelligence and other disruptive technologies, including quantum technology.

Jointly organised by the Global AI Law & Governance Institute (GALGI), the Artificial Intelligence Law Hub, and Pavan Duggal Associates, Advocates, with academic collaboration from Cyberlaw University, the Summit is designed as a high-level working forum that transforms dialogue into tangible, actionable outputs:

• Adoption of an international consensus document articulating core legal and ethical principles for emerging technologies.
• Publication of a peer-reviewed, ISBN-registered proceedings volume capturing scholarly contributions and session insights.
• Launch of a sustained institutional partnership platform to drive cross-border cooperation, research, and capacity-building in AI law and policy.

Objectives

1. Forge a cohesive, human-centric, and ethically robust international AI-governance architecture.
2. Operationalise risk-based regulatory models inspired by instruments such as the EU AI Act.
3. Harmonise national AI laws with universal human-rights standards and multilateral frameworks (UN, UNESCO, OECD).
4. Establish clear liability principles for AI-related harms and mechanisms for mitigating algorithmic bias.
5. Address quantum-computing governance, cryptographic resilience, and national-security implications.
6. Define legal recognition and oversight for decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs) and blockchain ecosystems.
7. Strengthen algorithmic transparency and explainability as constitutional or statutory imperatives.
8. Develop sector-specific ethical jurisprudence for autonomous systems in healthcare, transportation, and defence.

GSAIET 2025: Building the legal scaffolding for a technology-driven future—by humanity, for humanity.

DEF 2025 is Canada’s leading industry event focused on decentralised energy solutions. In alignment with the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ), this year’s forum will explore how quantum computing, sensing and communication can accelerate the transition to sustainable, resilient, and data-driven energy systems.

DEF 2025 is premised on the principles of openness, collaboration, and scientific integrity. We are inviting participants across sectors, including developers, researchers, policymakers, and the public, to engage with quantum’s potential in emissions monitoring, grid optimization, and AI-enhanced demand response. Ultimately, by connecting people, ideas, and technologies, DEF 2025 models the IYQ spirit: making quantum science accessible, inclusive, and impactful.

Teams will develop quantum solutions for the UN Sustainable Development Goals. This hands-on competition offers students practical experience, helps corporates explore first applications, and shows policymakers that quantum is already delivering real results—making it a key driver for Switzerland’s innovation agenda and future investment.

The SEA Quantathon 2025 aims to innovate quantum computing applications for social good, allowing us to redirect the benefits of quantum technologies towards humanity. The issues chosen are in healthcare & medicine, renewable energy, and climate change, all of which are relevant to Southeast Asian countries.

The first MOLESs Workshop (MOLecular Excited State spectroscopy Workshop) will take place in Belgrade from November 6-7 2025, following the CEQPAS (Centennial of Quantum Theory: Progress in Atomic and Molecular Structure) meeting.

The workshop is an annual meeting of the MOLESs consortium, launching a long-term effort to collate and disseminate data on the excited-state spectroscopy of molecules across gaseous and solid phases. Sessions will include: 1. Review of available data from contributors; 2. Accessing published and unpublished data sets; 3. Invitations to increase participants; 4. Templates and guides for data presentation; 5. Databases; 6. Dissemination of MOLESs to the broader community. 7. CEQPAS follow-up.

Participation is free but by invitation only. Attendees are responsible for their own travel and accommodation arrangements. Further information will be available on the MOLESs webpage.

CEQPAS – Centennial of Quantum Theory: Progress in Atomic and Molecular Structure” will be held in Belgrade, Serbia from 3–5 November 2025. Organized by the University of Belgrade – Institute of Chemistry, Technology and Metallurgy, University of Belgrade – Institute of Physics, and the MOLESs consortium, this three-day symposium will be part of the International Year of Quantum regional activities. It will welcome up to 40 participants, with priority for researchers from Central and Eastern Europe and a special focus on early-career scientists. It will feature oral presentations by all delegates.

The program will be structured into five interlinked sessions: 1. Atomic and molecular spectroscopy and its applications to atmospheric sciences and astronomy. 2. Collisions and their applications in plasma physics. 3. Studies in chemical physics and physical chemistry. 4. The use of artificial intelligence and machine learning for atomic and molecular data analysis and generation. 5. The application of quantum science to our wider understanding of phenomena, including radiation sciences.

There is no registration fee; participants are responsible for their travel and accommodation. Further details will be available on the CEQPAS website.
